Florida House Representative Steve Precourt

“Cash tolls on the Beachline Expressway will cost 50 cents more, on the Florida Turnpike and other major roadways it’ll cost you 25 cents more.

The tolls along the Beachline could cost you an extra 50 cents if you travel through both the Mainline Plaza, by Orlando International Airport, and the new plaza at Dallas Boulevard.

But the hike from $1.50 to $2 is only if you pay cash. It will be a little less, but still an increase, if you use an E-Pass or SunPass transponder.

Many people like Andrew Simso don’t like the sound of higher tolls. He said, “I think it’s ridiculous and we travel on this road every other day and it’s going to hurt the pocket.””

The toll increase was set in motion back in 2007 when the Florida Legislature approved House Bill 985 which mandated toll increases every year. This short sighted law needs to be repealed.

Florida House District 44 Challenger Matt Falconer

Precourt’s opponent in the Florida House District 44 Republican primary, Matthew Falconer, ran for Orange County Mayor in 2010, he pledged to “repeal the toll increase.” If elected Falconer plans to submit a bill removing the automatic increases requiring politicians to vote every time the tolls are increased.

Falconer said, “Politicians need to feel the pain they inflict on the consumer. When they vote to increase tolls they will certainly here it from their constituents.”

In an alleged conflict of interest, Precourt voted to raise tolls while his employer, Dyer-Riddle-Mills & Precourt, had millions of dollars in contracts with the Orlando Orange County Expressway Authority.

Precourt’s pattern of approving government spending projects that benefit his former industry construction, should raise serious concerns for the people of the new District 44 about his ability to represent their less government, low tax interest.

Wasting $1.2 billion on a light rail system that is not needed should be punished at the polls this August.

In the House District 44 primary, voters have a chance to send a message to Tallahassee. Incumbent Steve Precourt’s support of SunRail, higher taxes, higher tolls, higher college tuition, and utility monopolies appears to be out of touch with struggling taxpayers in Central Florida. His opponent Matthew Falconer has been on the “right” side of these issues and has pledged to work to lower taxes, lower tolls, and electric bills.

Nothing will change until politicians are exposed and voted out of office. Getting elected to support projects for the construction industry with no regard for the publics need of those projects is not good representation.

An Analysis

American citizen, you are grotesquely ignorant.

On the whole, your society exemplifies Webster’s definition of the word “oblivious”: 1) lacking remembrance, memory, or mindful attention 2) lacking active conscious knowledge or awareness.

Perhaps you aren’t completely to blame for your disgusting inability to think for yourself, act in your own self-interest and attain feelings of emotional stability or good health without the guidance of a lifelong Nanny. Your devolution has been engineered by a parasitic State that understands the need to numb and stupefy your most basic human instincts and desires. You have been helped to the point of incompetence and made an idiot by a society of simplicity and convenience.

Your food is not food, and it is served to you through a window while you sit in your automobile.

If you do not attempt to provide for yourself and those who depend on you, it is done for you.

Your friends are not friends, but faces on a screen. You likely have thousands of them but few meaningful relationships.

Sex is exploited to divert your attention. Even political news sites often include more sex stories than news.

Your political views are molded by politicians’ and media’s exploitation of emotionally-charged social issues — abortion, women’s rights, race relations, etc. — so you do not realize that you are losing rights daily.

You idolize idiots for their physical attributes or charm. When given the opportunity to obsess over their lives so you can forget that your own is unfulfilling, you are grateful.

Politicians use phrases like “right wing” or “left wing,” to make you believe in freedom of political choice, democracy and liberty. There is no such thing in this collapsing society. There is only the slavery of consumption. If you are a person who recognizes this and attempts to live a lifestyle that diminishes the State’s involvement in your affairs, you are branded a terrorist, conspiracy nut or simply crazy.
The whole story …

I visited the website of Ann Barnhardt the other day and followed a very interesting link called Understanding The Slave Mentality .

Here is a clip of what I found there.
It is most interesting and I find it to be right on. It indeed explains why so many remain mired in what they are told (media propaganda) instead of checking out facts for themselves.

I recall Yuri Bezmenov saying you could show the “useful idiots” reality and they would refuse to believe it.

I suppose the real question is how much of society are useful idiots or slaves. The next thing we need to consider if we (personally) are either of those?

The True Slave: The true slave is not a person who has been shackled, beaten, tortured, and made to comply under threat of death. As long as that poor soul has the spirit of rebellion and is ever seeking freedom, they are not imprisoned fully. The true slave is a person who enjoys their subservience, who is weighted with fear by the very idea of independence from the system, and who would actually fight and die to maintain the establishment which enslaves them. The true slave is not able to imagine living any other life beyond his micro-managed existence.

The Facts Lose Value: The worst flaw of the slave is not necessarily his ability to overlook the truth, but his ability to see it, comprehend it, and then shrug it off anyway because it is contrary to his mission to fulfill his private delusions. For the slave, the truth exists, but is no longer useful. Lies make his universe turn, and facts are a tool to be used or cast aside at his leisure.
The whole story …

George’s Opinion:
Thank you George!

As a patient observer I can testify that judges’ questions during oral arguments are not necessarily a good predictor of the outcome of a case. Judges everywhere (especially the supreme sort) have often used oral argument as a sounding board for competing theories on jurisprudence, and as a vehicle for playing devil’s advocate. The questions asked don’t necessarily reflect how the judges feel about the case, or the way they will rule. Still, the questions posed by the Supreme Court during last week’s argument on the Affordable Care Act, (a.k.a “Obamacare”) indicate that the court realizes it’s pondering, not just the future of health care in this country, but also the role of the federal government in the lives of its citizens.

The heart of Obamacare is the so-called individual mandate, which requires that citizens purchase health insurance or pay a penalty. The goal of the legislation is to induce full participation in the program in order to ensure its fiscal solvency (premiums from young, healthy individuals are necessary to offset the costly medical bills of the sick and elderly) and eliminate “free riders,” (those uninsured individuals whose health care costs are borne by those who do have health insurance). This approach, we are told, will result in low-cost, high-quality healthcare for all.

Makes sense, right? Who could possibly object to a program that promises to right the many perceived wrongs of healthcare in America? Who would argue against securing affordable, accessible health care for the millions upon millions (or so we’re told) of “involuntarily” uninsured Americans? At first blush the mandate seems like a commonsense, compassionate approach (assuming it would actually work), until you consider the broader legal implications of the government’s actions.

Under Obamacare the federal government is essentially dictating that people buy a product (health insurance) with the justification that “this product is not only good for you, it’s good for everyone else.” That requires a logical leap of faith, as well as a pretty big step for a limited government of enumerated powers, which (according to our founders) is what the federal government is supposed to be. Where Congress or the President derives the authority to determine the personal economic choices of individual Americans is unclear. One certainly doesn’t find it in the text of the Constitution, and this is the rub. If the court upholds Obamacare a precedent will be set by which the federal government will be emboldened and empowered to make laws based on what it decides is in the “best interests” of the American people – eat your veggies, take your vitamins, get your exercise, don’t smoke, don’t drink, drive a hybrid, buy only government-approved energy efficient light bulbs… The list goes on and on. It will also eliminate the last vestige of “Federalism” in America. That’s why Justice Kennedy rightly noted that if Obamacare is upheld, the Court will be sanctioning a fundamental change in the way the government relates to the people.

Of course, advocates of Big Government and disciples of the Nanny State are hoping that’s just exactly what the Court will do. They want an all powerful, benevolent Big Brother in Washington to tell We, the unwashed masses what’s good for us and how we should live our lives, and they want this authority backed by the force of law. They ignore the distinct possibility that such a move on the part of our federal masters might also provoke a “shooting war” to be forevermore known as the “Second American Revolution.”

All who love liberty – which includes the freedom to make what some might perceive as “poor” or foolish choices – should be concerned about the outcome of this case. It’s about so much more than healthcare; it’s about the role and size of government and the basic right for American citizens to decide how to live their own lives. It’s also about checks and balances and the meaning of the Constitution.

The Court is expected to rule in June. How will the justices ultimately decide? At this point no one knows; however one thing is certain: This ruling will affect how future generations of Americans perceive what it means to be a “free” citizen in the good’ole U.S. of A.

Happy Easter Everyone!

There is much talk about “the talk.”

“Sean O’Reilly was 16 when his mother gave him the talk that most black parents give their teenage sons,” Denisa R. Superville of the Hackensack (NJ) Record tells us. Meanwhile, down in Atlanta: “Her sons were 12 and 8 when Marlyn Tillman realized it was time for her to have the talk,” Gracie Bonds Staples writes in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

Leonard Greene talks about the talk in the New York Post. Someone bylined as KJ Dell’Antonia talks about the talk in The New York Times. Darryl Owens talks about the talk in the Orlando Sentinel.

Yes, talk about the talk is all over.

There is a talk that nonblack Americans have with their kids, too. My own kids, now 19 and 16, have had it in bits and pieces as subtopics have arisen. If I were to assemble it into a single talk, it would look something like the following.

* * * * * * * * * * * * *

(1) Among your fellow citizens are forty million who identify as black, and whom I shall refer to as black. The cumbersome (and MLK-noncompliant) term “African-American” seems to be in decline, thank goodness. “Colored” and “Negro” are archaisms. What you must call “the ‘N’ word” is used freely among blacks but is taboo to nonblacks.

78 year old Dallas Watts was attacked by black assailants. One pointed at Mr. Watts and said, "take him down," the victim recounted in an interview Monday. Mr. Watts, carrying home two small bags of pork rinds to dole out as treats to his three dachshunds, looked at the youth and said, "Why you picking on me?" Mr. Watts recalled. "Remember Trayvon. Why you picking on me?" The boy, again, allegedly told his friends to "take him down."

(2) American blacks are descended from West African populations, with some white and aboriginal-American admixture. The overall average of non-African admixture is 20-25 percent. The admixture distribution is nonlinear, though: “It seems that around 10 percent of the African American population is more than half European in ancestry.” (Same link.)

(3) Your own ancestry is mixed north-European and northeast-Asian, but blacks will take you to be white.

(4) The default principle in everyday personal encounters is, that as a fellow citizen, with the same rights and obligations as yourself, any individual black is entitled to the same courtesies you would extend to a nonblack citizen. That is basic good manners and good citizenship. In some unusual circumstances, however—e.g., paragraph (10h) below—this default principle should be overridden by considerations of personal safety.

(5) As with any population of such a size, there is great variation among blacks in every human trait (except, obviously, the trait of identifying oneself as black). They come fat, thin, tall, short, dumb, smart, introverted, extroverted, honest, crooked, athletic, sedentary, fastidious, sloppy, amiable, and obnoxious. There are black geniuses and black morons. There are black saints and black psychopaths. In a population of forty million, you will find almost any human type. Only at the far, far extremes of certain traits are there absences. There are, for example, no black Fields Medal winners. While this is civilizationally consequential, it will not likely ever be important to you personally. Most people live and die without ever meeting (or wishing to meet) a Fields Medal winner.

(6) As you go through life, however, you will experience an ever larger number of encounters with black Americans. Assuming your encounters are random—for example, not restricted only to black convicted murderers or to black investment bankers—the Law of Large Numbers will inevitably kick in. You will observe that the means—the averages—of many traits are very different for black and white Americans, as has been confirmed by methodical inquiries in the human sciences.

(7) Of most importance to your personal safety are the very different means for antisocial behavior, which you will see reflected in, for instance, school disciplinary measures, political corruption, and criminal convictions.

(8) These differences are magnified by the hostility many blacks feel toward whites. Thus, while black-on-black behavior is more antisocial in the average than is white-on-white behavior, average black-on-white behavior is a degree more antisocial yet.

George Zimmerman T-Shirt

(10) Thus, while always attentive to the particular qualities of individuals, on the many occasions where you have nothing to guide you but knowledge of those mean differences, use statistical common sense:

(10a) Avoid concentrations of blacks not all known to you personally.

(10b) Stay out of heavily black neighborhoods.

(10c) If planning a trip to a beach or amusement park at some date, find out whether it is likely to be swamped with blacks on that date (neglect of that one got me the closest I have ever gotten to death by gunshot).

(10d) Do not attend events likely to draw a lot of blacks.

(10e) If you are at some public event at which the number of blacks suddenly swells, leave as quickly as possible.

(10f) Do not settle in a district or municipality run by black politicians.

(10g) Before voting for a black politician, scrutinize his/her character much more carefully than you would a white.

(10h) Do not act the Good Samaritan to blacks in apparent distress, e.g., on the highway.

(10i) If accosted by a strange black in the street, smile and say something polite but keep moving.

(11) The mean intelligence of blacks is much lower than for whites. The least intelligent ten percent of whites have IQs below 81; forty percent of blacks have IQs that low. Only one black in six is more intelligent than the average white; five whites out of six are more intelligent than the average black. These differences show in every test of general cognitive ability that anyone, of any race or nationality, has yet been able to devise. They are reflected in countless everyday situations. “Life is an IQ test.”

The Leon County Sheriff's Office arrested Jarvis McBride, 30, on Thursday in connection to the death of Ashleigh Jacobs, the 26-year-old woman found in her car with multiple gunshot wounds near the Leon County Transfer Station.

(13) In that pool of forty million, there are nonetheless many intelligent and well-socialized blacks. (I’ll use IWSB as an ad hoc abbreviation.) You should consciously seek opportunities to make friends with IWSBs. In addition to the ordinary pleasures of friendship, you will gain an amulet against potentially career-destroying accusations of prejudice.

(14) Be aware, however, that there is an issue of supply and demand here. Demand comes from organizations and businesses keen to display racial propriety by employing IWSBs, especially in positions at the interface with the general public—corporate sales reps, TV news presenters, press officers for government agencies, etc.—with corresponding depletion in less visible positions. There is also strong private demand from middle- and upper-class whites for personal bonds with IWSBs, for reasons given in the previous paragraph and also (next paragraph) as status markers.

Ashleigh Jacobs murdered in cold blood for nothing

* * * * * * * * * * * * *

You don’t have to follow my version of the talk point for point; but if you are white or Asian and have kids, you owe it to them to give them some version of the talk. It will save them a lot of time and trouble spent figuring things out for themselves. It may save their lives.

Bill O’Reilly confronted Rich Benjamin, who wrote a piece in the New York Times that states George Zimmerman killed Trayvon Martin “in cold blood.” “You convicted him in print,” O’Reilly said. “Don’t you see that that is not right?”

NO Benjamin does not see anything wrong with that behavior.
I have to wonder why?
Have people become so twisted in our country today they have totally lost their way?

O’Reilly severely kicked Benjamin into a corner and verbally beat him to a pulp.
Benjamin is simply one more person to lose credibility over this situation.

The truth is like everything else the REAL FACTS have not yet surfaced.
Until that time we simply have another Duke University and Twana Brawley.

Benjamin claims he was a victim of a mugging.
The mugger was a black man with a gun.
Benjamin CLAIMS he would never shoot anyone under these circumstances.

Let me say Benjamin is either a fool, a liar or a coward.
I too was a victim of an armed robbery. The robbers were black armed with guns and knives. I was not armed. Apparently Benjamin was not either.

So to say you would do nothing under those circumstances is the wise thing to do.
If you are armed to say you would DO NOTHING makes you the FOOL OF THE CENTURY.

I did not know what these armed bandits were going to do.
I do remember thinking when I was tied up I was totally at their mercy. At any given moment they could have shot or stabbed me.

Mr. Benjamin was a fool to think some quirky person willing to rob him at gun point WOULD NOT SHOOT HIM?

This guy is to stupid to recognize stupid.

Pretty simple listen to what he says then pay attention to what he has done.

Do we actually want another 4 years of this?
YOUR VOTE COUNTS BECOME INFORMED AND USE IT!

Well maybe or maybe not!

According to the African Press International (API) they have Barack Obama’s genuine birth certificate.
They say it proves once and for all Barack Obama was born in Mombasa.

Apparently what API does not understand is that Obama does not meet the requirement to be President of the USA because both of his parents were NOT AMERICAN CITIZENS.

Should the Obama Mombasa birth certificate actually turn up and be legitimate a whole lot of people here in the United States should end up at the end of a rope on a branch of the old oak tree.

Here is the story:

President Obama will be forced by circumstances to apologize: Genuine Birth Certificate surfaces – Americans have been led to believe otherwise, revelation to change the political landscape.

Posted by African Press International on March 9, 2012

Now it is here and places the president in the African continent. The debate surrounding it will now end after the revelation, and those who have not been telling the truth will have to be made answerable one way or another.

The revelation, however, coming during this election year 2012 is doing no good to the democratic party.

API on Tuesday the 6th March evening received President Obama’s genuine birth certificate. API decided not to hurry in publishing it immediately because we wanted to be sure of the content value.

Now that the scrutiny has been done, the publishing of the Birth certificate that will clear the air once and for all is being done without prejudice. This may force the US president to apologise to the American people for having been kept in the dark on the issue for a long time now on demanding the publishing of the birth certificate by President Obama.

API will scan in here a letter from Coast Provincial Birth Registration Office in the next few hours or days, depending on how quick API is cleared to do so.

The purpose of scanning the official letter is to ensure that what we have received as you see here is fully collaborated officially.

Everyone knows that the documents are very sensitive and are not for misuse by any person to gain upper hand in political games.

It is, however, fair that the whole truth is brought to light and have the whole saga put to rest once and for all.

Many people seem to be of the opinion that there is a plan to hide from them the real thing. The US President says he is born in Hawaii. Many documents being circulated worldwide says otherwise. Therefore, it is very important to be outright and get the real thing on the table without witch hunt or without trying to malign the president’s name, unless the truth is not what he personally has said.

A duly signed official letter and a very special document will be scanned here for all to see – this comes in a few hours or days, depending on how quick API gets the clearance to do so. The two documents will put the issue to rest and clear the air once and for all who wish to know the true facts of this case file that has bothered a section of the American people!

It is only reasonable to continue working on this case in order to reveal the truth of the matter.

Another issue important to consider is why many are so interested in this. If Obama has ruled now for three good years and is now in his fourth year – and already asking for another term that will give him new 4 years in the White House, is there any wrongdoing when he actually has delivered leadership and continues to do so? He has not run down the country, so what is all the farce about where he is born? After all, he has lived in the US all his life.
Whole story HERE.

For those who have been following the this birth certificate story we have already seen a Kenyan Birth certificate produced by Lucas Daniel Smith.

Will the documents match?
To my knowledge 12 days after the article posted by API no original birth certificate image has been produced.

Do they actually have one or have they been somehow scared off from presenting the story?

Here is the story behind the Smith document:
