Most are familiar with those commercials on television promoting prescription drugs that supposedly offer relief from a variety of ailments, if one would only pressure one’s doctor to obtain them. They have become a source of great entertainment and amusement to some, the kicker coming at the end of each commercial when the FDA-approved medication’s obligatory litany of warnings and dangerous side effects is recited: “Tell your doctor if….” and “Side effects may include…..” Some of the warnings are mild like diarrhea and constipation, some list serious effects like cancer or tuberculosis, and others admit that sometimes even death can result.
This letter was sent to us, anonymously, regarding the Nash County Commissioners meeting on February 1, 2010.
Robert,
At this morning’s meeting, commissioners again sat silently until a vote was taken on just how to finance the new school construction. They then stuck it to the voters.
The usual procedure, per the N.C. Constitution, for floating a bond, is to list it on the next ballot for voter approval. The idea of getting voter approval to increase our indebtedness started to backfire as governments attempted to take us deeper and deeper into debt and the voters began to reject some of these bonds.
So, our legislature devised a bypass around the people by passing a law whereby some of the public buildings can be listed as collateral for the bonds instead of listing the good faith and credit of the people. By doing this, they can float a bond without ever asking the voters for approval.
At this mornings commissioner meeting, they once again rejected a bond referendum using the excuse of the urgency of the moment. The vote was 4-3 with the four tax and spend democrats voting to take the short-cut. When given an opportunity by Commissioner Wayne Outlaw to assure the voters that a tax increase would not be necessary, the same four democrats again declined to add such a statement to the financing resolution.
Three of these commissioners are up for re-election even though two of them are insulated and protected by racial gerrymandering.
It’s great to know that our county commissioners have no problem saddling future generations with debt.
Senator “Don’t Call me Ma’am” Boxer or should that be Senator “I’m heavily invested in businesses that stands to gain from any Cap and Trade legislation” Boxer. Either way, the Senator has once again shown her hideous and corrupt underside by trying to shoot the messenger and ignoring the urgent message. Yes, the stealing of email is criminal and I won’t try to justify that act; however, the more criminal acts are the deceptions taking place about global warming… er… climate change. Boxer, Obama, and a host of others refuse to look at the obvious tampering and manipulation of data to support anthropogenic global warming. When researchers throw away raw data and claim the manipulated or “value added” data is sufficient to prove their research, we have a serious breach in scientific method that any freshman chemistry student knows. Boxer is a danger to the American people and needs to be ejected from office at the earliest possible time. Maybe she’ll be reelected, maybe she won’t. One thing is for sure: the global warming scam is quickly unraveling. Based on my unadjusted opinion, Al “manbearpig” Gore and all his mindless dupes won’t be able to pull it back together again.
Like so many past journalists who have walked the thin line between criminality and reporting, perhaps we owe a little thanks to the hackers who revealed this information. Ultimately, I do think they should be tried and if convicted sentenced to five years of searching for more fraudulent hoaxers and criminal politicians. That would be a real community service!
With all the focus on potential domestic terrorists, with all the surveillance, phone-taps, browser snooping, and with all the tax dollars spent on creating and maintaining a Department of Homeland Security and Security Czar, one simply must ask: how can this happen? Apparently the CIA failed to get the memo about Homeland Security coordinating between all existing agencies to prevent acts of terrorism or is it that I just didn’t understand part of legislation (or propaganda briefs) used to sell DHS and the lies about being the main player in coordinating information and action between the alphabet soup of agencies. The CIA says they had fore knowledge of a dedicated Muslim seeking to contact al Qaeda. Not just an ordinary Muslim but a Major in the U.S. Army. So, just because some idiot wanna-be spook refuses to report the fact that a U.S. Army Major is seeking to communicate with an enemy, a psycho-muslim is allowed to kill and wound numerous Americans, not just on American soil but on an Army post on top of that.
These moron islamo-terrorist need to be stopped at first knowledge rather than waiting for additional information or leads. No domestic terrorist = no terrorist act. It’s not rocket science. If you eliminate the extremists like Hasan there is no sleeper that can help organize terrorism.
All this kinda makes one wonder just how much fore-knowledge existed prior to 9-11???
The apologists are worried that there may be a backlash against Muslim soldiers; just wait for the persecution of gun owners by the leftists liberals in Washington and elsewhere.
It appears that the tinfoil hat award needs to be handed out to all the Obama supporters and the Chicago Tribune who see the re-make of V as being directed at Obama. This is the remake of a 1980s mini series. Seems that paranoia runs deep when you support those doing wrong.
The plot of V is nothing new. Throughout history there have always been those who seek total control. The technology of implementation may change but the intent is always the sama – total control by a small group of elite freaks.
The unrest in Honduras so perfectly fits the pattern of leftist insurrection that even those with little or no knowledge of such plots should be able to recognize it for what it is.
The plot goes something like this:
-A corrupt leader who is somewhat popular becomes power hungry.
-The U.S. and international community see the leader as a useful tool for their own mischief and mayhem.
-Pro-liberty forces within the country oust the corrupt yet well-connected leader.
-The global news outlets report sensationalized (and often fabricated) stories of the horrors the interim government is committing.
-There is an outpouring of support for the deposed corrupt leader by neighboring leftist/socialist/communist national governments and usually the U.S. government as well.
-Leftist/socialist/communist provocateurs are sent in to recruit willing dupes, incite rebellion, and goad police into harsh responses.
-The U.S. and international community bring sanctions to bear on the interim government.
-(New twist for the internet age) Blogs and internet posts by Hondurans revealing the true sentiments of the people are suppressed, with all the blame being placed on the interim government. Internet sources in the U.S. supporting the deposed corrupt leader are given great credibility and support by tax-free foundations and our own government.
-Demands are made to reinstate the former corrupt leader.
-The global news outlets report about supposed huge support (that really doesn’t exist) for the former corrupt leader.
-More leftist/socialist/communist provocateurs and outsiders are brought in to deceive the people into ever more violent rebellion.
-The willing dupes descend into ever more violent protests.
-The interim government, in attempts to restore order, takes harsh measures to quell the leftist incited violent rebellion.
-The U.S. and the international community condemn the interim government.
-The U.N. steps in to facilitate the reinstatement of the corrupt former leader.
-The global news outlets report how wonderful everything is now that order is restored.
It’s a pattern that has been repeated time after time with the assistance in many cases of our own CIA and other covert agencies. It’s been called regime change by our Presidents and nation building by others. The reality is that it is deception.
All this could have been averted by our government simply recognizing the interim government in their legal removal of a corrupt and power hungry leftist.
You can bet that if Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro, Lula De Silva, and the OAS are supporting Zelaya, there’s something rotten in Honduras.
Good luck to those supporting liberty and the rule of law in Honduras. They’ll need it with the U.S. and the world against them.
