Resigned to be fair.

An employers letter to his employees:

Dear Employees:

As the CEO of this organization, I have resigned myself to the fact that Barrack Obama is our President and that our taxes and government fees will continue to increase in a BIG way.

To compensate for these increases, our prices would have to increase by about 10%. But since we cannot increase our prices right now due to the dismal state of the economy, we will have to lay off sixty of our employees instead.

This has really been bothering me since I believe we are family here and I didn’t know how to choose who would have to go. So, this is what I did. I walked through our parking lots and found sixty ‘Obama’ bumper stickers on our employees’ cars and have decided these folks will be the ones to let go.

I can’t think of a more fair way to approach this problem.
They voted for change……I gave it to them.

I will see the rest of you at the annual company picnic.


Paul Ryan Talks Budget Plan for 2012 with Chris Wallace

January 30, 2012
Posted by clinicalthinker @ 7:14 AM

Daily it becomes more and more clear the government under THIS PRESIDENT and THE DEMOCRATIC CONTROLLED SENATE is fast headed for a bankruptcy cliff.

The Obama “we have turned this ECONOMY around” … RHETORIC IS A TOTAL CROCK!

You might want to listen carefully to the figures Ryan give on the shortfall we face.
Anyone who can count to 10 understands taxing the rich WILL NOT close that shortfall gap.

“We the people” better seriously consider getting rid of EVERY PERSON in Congress who is not for SERIOUSLY CUTTING SPENDING. Otherwise we will be meeting one another in a breadline some where if we are lucky to find a breadline that is.


Update on Mitt Romney “natural born citizen” state.

January 19, 2012
Posted by clinicalthinker @ 23:05 PM

This is now my third article on Mitt Romney’s eligibility qualifications to become a US President.
I keep thinking it will be my last but daily something new hits my desk.

There has been considerable confusion on the “natural born citizenship” issue now for a number of political hopefuls especially Mitt Romney.

We can all THANK BARACK OBAMA for that.
The “natural born citizenship” issue for Barack Obama was questioned before he was elected, dragged into the court system and IGNORED by all who could actually do anything about it.

That oversight is one of the main causes behind the citizens getting back to their Constitutional Roots. If Barack Obama goes down in history for no other reason … to his credit he will be responsible for that return.

I have spent a number of days sifting through documents on citizenship and how one loses their citizenship. Who is a “citizen” or “natural born citizen” when born to parents of dubious US citizenship.

This is the result as simple as I can make it and why.
Those who choose to refresh on what I have written in the past can find those articles linked below
(this update link will be posted at the top of each article):

Mitt Romney, Barack Obama vs Natural Born Citizenship and the Constitution

Mitt Romney IS NOT a natural born citizen!

Mitt Romney’s Mexico Family Roots

Romney Genealogy

The family history from various Romney Genealogy sites.

  • Miles Park Romeny born in Illinois – Hannah Hood Hill born in Canada (5 wives) (fled to Mexico in 1887 and died there in 1904)
  • Parents to Gaskell Romney born in Utah (father of George W. Romeny born in Mexico)
  • Helaman Pratt born in Iowa – Anna Johanna Dorothea Wilcken born in Prussia (3 wives)(fled to Mexico (1875 – 1878??) died there in 1909
  • Parents to Anna Amelia Pratt born in Utah (wife of Gaskell Romney mother of George W. Romney)
  • Gaskkell and his family lived in Mexico (where George W. Romney was born) for 17 years until the Mexicn Revolution broke out.
  • 2300 Mormon women and children were allowed free passage back to the states and some of the male family members joined them later.

Questions I had that were answered:

Q: Did these Mormon families lose their citizenship with the Morrill and Edmunds Acts?
Did they lose citizenship since they CHOSE TO REMAIN in Mexico for 17 to 30 years or so?

A: “No they did not in George Romney’s case. George Romney gained his U.S. Citizenship from his father via “Jus Sanginis” and thus when he returned to the U.S. he was a U.S. Citizen and did not have to naturalize, etc.”

Q: What about mothers who were not citizens or born in the US?

A: “Before 1922 the wife had her citizenship tied to that of her husband.
If he was a born US citizen so was she as well as their children considered citizens.

George W. Romney WAS a basic simple Citizen of the United States vis his father under “jus sanguinis” and thus legally could re-enter the U.S. without naturalization.”

My conclusion about Mitt Romney being a “natural born citizen” of the United States?
I STILL DON’T KNOW!

There seem to be laws from 1850 to 1930 that are not considered in the answers I got above. There were laws of the US as well as Mexico that come into play. Just because the laws were not enforced does not mean they were not in play.

Should this matter be discussed and BE MADE CLEAR IN THE COURTS IF NECESSARY RIGHT NOW before “we the people” ALLOW ANOTHER ERROR to occur?

Mitt Romney’s situation is still in limbo from what I can determine.

Barack Obama’s situation IS NOT!
Barack Obama clearly is not a “natural born citizen” according to Article 2, Section 1 of the Constitution.

In the end “we the people” hold a lot of power in our vote.
If the Republicans, Democrats and SCOTUS continue to ignore these issues and not choose to sort them out as their oath to the Constitution requires?
Then it is left to “we the people” to decide for ourselves and vote accordingly.
If there is a question the safe vote is a vote against.

Important Dates to Remember Before You Consider a Vote for Obama in 2012

January 13, 2012
Posted by clinicalthinker @ 8:54 AM

Thank you George for sending this reminder my way.

Just to remind you when President Obama starts to blame Bush for all our problems.
Then the main stream media picks up on the same rhetoric.
Then the forgetful citizens start to believe the BullS*** and pass it around AS FACT.

The day the Democrats took over was not January 22nd 2009, it was actually January 3rd 2007, the day the Democrats took over the House of Representatives and the Senate, at the very start of the 110th Congress.

The Democratic Party controlled a majority in both chambers for the first time since the end of the 103rd Congress in Jan 1995.

For those who are listening to the liberals propagating the fallacy that everything is “Bush’s Fault”, think about this: January 3rd, 2007, the day the Democrats took over the Senate and the House:

The DOW Jones closed at 12,621.77
The GDP for the previous quarter was 3.5%
The Unemployment rate was 4.6%
George Bush’s Economic policies SET A RECORD of 52 STRAIGHT MONTHS of JOB CREATION!

Remember that day…

January 3rd, 2007 was the day that Barney Frank took over the House Financial Services Committee and Chris Dodd took over the Senate Banking Committee.

The economic meltdown that happened 15 months later was in what part of the economy?

BANKING AND FINANCIAL SERVICES!

THANK YOU DEMOCRATS (especially Barney) for taking us from 13,000 DOW, 3.5 GDP and 4.6% Unemployment…to this CRISIS by (among MANY other things) dumping 5-6 TRILLION Dollars of toxic loans on the economy from YOUR Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac FIASCOES!

BTW: Bush asked Congress 17 TIMES to stop Fannie & Freddie, starting in 2001 because it was financially risky for our economy. Barney blocked it and called it a “Chicken Little Philosophy” (and the sky really did fall!)

And who took the THIRD highest pay-off from Fannie Mae AND Freddie Mac? BARACK OBAMA

And who fought against reform of Fannie and Freddie?
OBAMA and the Democrat Congress, especially BARNEY!!!!

So when someone tries to blame Bush…
REMEMBER JANUARY 3rd, 2007…. THE DAY THE DEMOCRATS TOOK OVER!”

Bush may have been in the car but the Democrats had the gas pedal and steering wheel… They (the Democrats) were the ones driving the economy into the ditch.

Budgets do not come from the White House. They come from Congress and the party that controlled Congress since January 2007 is the Democratic Party.

Furthermore, the Democrats controlled the budget process for 2008 & 2009 as well as 2010 & 2011.

In that first year, they had to contend with George Bush, which caused them to compromise on spending, when Bush somewhat belatedly got tough on spending increases.

For 2008-2009 though, Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid bypassed George Bush entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep government running until Barack Obama could take office. At that time, they passed a massive omnibus spending bill to complete the 2009 budget.

And where was Barack Obama during this time? He was a member of that very Congress that passed all of these massive spending bills, and he signed the omnibus bill as President to complete 2009. Let’s remember what the deficits looked like during that period:

If the Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the 2007 deficit, the last of the Republican budgets. That deficit was the lowest in five years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending since the War on Terror began. After that, Democrats in Congress took control of spending, and that includes Barack Obama, who voted for the budgets.

If Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself, and a Democratic Congress!

In a nutshell, what Obama is saying is “I inherited a deficit that I voted for, and then I voted to expand that deficit four-fold since January 20th, 2009.


It Sucks to be a Video Star

Especially if you are a burglar with a buddy and do not know you are THE STARS OF THE SHOW.

911call_NEW


A few weeks ago I reported an effort by the Liberty Legal Foundation to file a Certification Class Action lawsuits against the DNC and Barack Obama on his “natural born citizenship” status.

This is a challenge to keep anyone WHO CLEARLY IS NOT a “natural born citizen” off the state ballot for the office of President of the United States.

You can become a part of that Class Action HERE.
You can donate to their effort HERE.

The Strategy #3 Issue on this Certification Class Action focuses on the core Constitutional question.

“The Constitution has specific requirements for the Presidency that do not exist for any other Federal office. The Founders set this higher requirement in order to avoid the possibility of our nation’s leader having divided loyalties. For this reason, the Constitution requires that the candidate for the Presidency be the descendant of two persons who were citizens at the time of the person’s birth. Minor v. Happersett, 88 U.S. 162 (1875). Obama, by his own admission, fails this “natural born citizen” requirement.”

This is the latest news on that effort in Georgia.

Breaking CCA News! This morning the Georgia Court of Administrative Hearings denied Obama’s motion to dismiss our ballot challenge. More importantly, the court’s opinion ruled in our favor on all procedural and state law issues, leaving only one thing left to decide: Whether Obama is a natural-born-citizen under the Constitution

Remember that no court has ever addressed this issue! As you know our argument is very simple. We argue that the Supreme Court has defined “natural-born-citizen” as a person with two U.S. citizen parents, and Obama admits that his father was never a U.S. citizen.

Others have raised many legal theories and asserted numerous facts regarding Obama’s past, his identity, his parentage, and his qualifications to hold office. None of those others have EVER succeeded in having a single court address the substantive issues they raised. Every one of those cases have been dismissed on procedural grounds without considering the substantive arguments at issue. Liberty Legal Foundation will now be the first to appear before a court that has affirmatively stated that it will decide the Constitutional question.

The hearing is set for 9AM on January 26th in Atlanta, Georgia.

As you know, we have similar cases filed in Tennessee state court and Federal court in Arizona. Hopefully the Georgia court will set the groundwork for victories across the country. If any court rules that Obama is not Constitutionally qualified to hold the office of President, it will be a major victory and should make international news. All the motions are located on our website on the Georgia Ballot Challenge page.

Let us all pray that 2012 will finally be the year the courts uphold the Constitution on this critical issue. It is certainly wonderful to start the year with a win!

The land of the FREE?

December 29, 2011
Posted by clinicalthinker @ 6:05 AM

Free what?

Wait a second here weren’t we all told we were born free?
Our Constitution and Bill of Rights gives us freedom of speech?
“We the People” are suppose to be the ones who control our government instead of the other way around?
When the heck did all that go up in smoke?
Because when you take a close look clearly the government does not give a flip what the people think, say or do.

I am ever awestruck at those who remain glued to THE MAIN STREAM MEDIA (all sides) and adamantly claim they know what is going on.
So many Americans are the ULTIMATE SUCKERS.

My husband still remains glued to the idea that the rise of the stock market is just around the corner. Somehow he can not seem to wrap his mind around the fact that the market is NOW FOR SUCKERS like him. The SMART INVESTORS got out and will stay out.

Perhaps a saving grace for “my sweetie pie” is the shock of American Airlines bankruptcy which has put a screeching halt to any further frittering off of funds. So here we sit on 8000 shares of AA that has the equivalent street value of confederate money … perhaps less considering confederate bills might have some historic value.

As I sit and watch this very interesting political season unfold where “we the people” are victims of a giant con.
The political right and left is a sheer FANTASY of choice.
It is more evident this election cycle than any before that the die has already been cast.
We are going to get a choice of Barack Obama or Mitt Romney.
I will be shocked if that turns out to NOT BE TRUE.

There is a clear MSM propaganda push for these two.
There IS NO FREE ELECTION CHOICE.

Well unless you call choosing THE WORST OF 2 EVILS a choice.
I guess technically that might be true.

THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ROMNEY AND OBAMA.
Neither are “natural born citizens”.
That makes them peas in a pod. BOTH HELL BENT on destroying the founding documents of our country.
BOTH CLAIM TO UPHOLD the Constitution.
WHAT AN IRONIC JOKE!

So we head into the Iowa caucus … should Ron Paul win there you will see both republicans and democrats TOTALLY COME UNHINGED.

That should be an interesting show.
More raciest crap heaped his way. Oh wait that is already on the scene right?
More he is an “insane psychopath”.

All of which whips his followers into a more cohesive determined frenzy to get him in the white-house come hell or high water.

I have to wonder if it ever dawned on this “political establishment” and those who hang on their every word as if it were gospel that THEY HAVE LOST TOTAL CONTROL this time around?

It will be interesting if they all decide JUST MAYBE they better take the heat off Gingrich out of STARK FEAR that Paul will pull together enough people (Democrats, Republicans, Independents, Libertarians and those who simply HATE THEM ALL) to whisk him to victory as a 3rd party WINNER.

AWWWW! That can not happen in a million years right?

ROFL … yeah right.


American Airlines Belly Up?

November 29, 2011
Posted by clinicalthinker @ 16:12 PM

I don’t know but it seems common sense to look at what is going on with the stock market and our plastic/faux dollar system to realize investing in the stock market not to mention Airline Stocks was stupid from the start.

Apparently that “airline mindset” is not lost on Warren Buffet who is considered “the greatest investor of all times“. He joked years ago that there should be a hotline for airline investors, where the operator could “talk him down” if he was ever tempted to invest in another airline. The implication is clear. The greatest investor of our time thinks investing in airlines is financial suicide.

Today the Wall Street Journal reported ARM Corp. (American Airlines) had filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
Their stock plummeted down to about $0.26 a share. Since the company has lost over $10 billion since 2001. It should come as no shock to those with level heads in math.

Airlines ARE NOT GOOD BUSINESS.
Before they sell 1 ticket they need airplanes and all kinds of machines and people to keep the planes loaded and functioning. They need to deal with unions. They need to borrow huge sums of money. And they need to compete on price with a dozen other airlines. There is no pricing power as an airline. Not to mention the cost of fuel can rise anytime and eat into profits.

So today my husband advised me $30,000 of our savings is POOF GONE!

I have battled for months trying to point out it might be a good idea to GET OUT of the stock market … but his logic was “we will always need airplanes”.
So much for the “normalcy bias”, “to big to fail” and “tinkerbell” vs the writing is on the wall.

I win the argument … WE BOTH LOOSE the money ;)
Neither makes him happy!


Ohio Votes to Nullify Insurance Mandates

November 9, 2011
Posted by clinicalthinker @ 3:36 AM

November 8, 2011
Tenth Amendment Center

On the eve of the 213th anniversary of the passage of Thomas Jefferson’s Kentucky Resolutions of 1798, laying the intellectual groundwork of nullification, the people of Ohio exercised their power and nullified the insurance mandate in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

Ohioans passed Issue Three, a constitutional amendment to preserve their right to choose their own health care and health care coverage. Preliminary returns indicated a wide margin of victory, with more than 60 percent approving the amendment. The amendment makes it illegal for any local, state or federal law to require Ohio residents to purchase health insurance, effectively nullifying a key component of the PPACA.

“This signifies that state level resistance to federal power is not just an old idea relegated to history books,” Tenth Amendment Center executive director Michael Boldin said, “It’s something that’s alive and well right now.”

Ohio became the tenth state to reject the insurance mandates in the PPACA.

“James Madison said that power over objects which in the ordinary course of affairs concern the lives, liberties and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement and prosperity of the State would remain with the states. Health care choices clearly fall into that category,” TAC communications director Mike Maharrey said. “Ohio sent a strong message to D.C. tonight. We are not going to just sit back and accept your unconstitutional power grabs.”

On Nov. 10, 1798, the Kentucky legislature adopted resolutions authored by Thomas Jefferson in response to the Alien and Sedition Acts. In these resolutions, Jefferson explained the states’ power to judge the constitutionality of an act, while also asserting that unconstitutional federal acts hold no force.

He wrote, “That the government created by this compact was not made the exclusive or final judge of the extent of the powers delegated to itself; since that would have made its discretion, and not the Constitution, the measure of its powers; but that, as in all other cases of compact among parties having no common judge, each party has an equal right to judge for itself, as well of infractions, as of the mode and measure of redress…”

Jefferson continued, “whensoever the General Government assumes undelegated powers, its acts are unauthoritative, void, and of no force”

As the federal government continues to grow, states have begun to push back more aggressively. Fifteen states have defied the federal government and legalized medicinal cannabis, and six years after the passage of the Real ID Act, states continue to successfully resist its implementation.

“Nullification is so simple, even a 3-year-old can do it. You just say, ‘No!’” Boldin said. “Washington D.C. will never willingly limit itself. It’s up to the states to put a check on federal power and say, ‘No!’ when Congress passes these unconstitutional acts. Ohio stepped up and did that tonight. Thomas Jefferson would be proud.”
