Teacher's letter to Obama

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We are in dire need of more trueAmerican citizens who are proud of OUR United States ofAmerica. WAKE UP AMERICA . . . please . . .before it is too late!

> Mr. Obama:
>
>
>
> I have had it with you and your administration, sir. Your conduct on your recent trip overseas has convinced me that you are not an adequate representative of the United States ofAmerica collectively or of me personally.
>
> You are so obsessed with appeasing the Europeans and the Muslim world that you have abdicated the responsibilities of the President of the United States of America . You are responsible to the citizens of the United States .
>
>
>
> You are not responsible to the peoples of any other country on earth. I personally resent that you go around the world apologizing for the United States telling Europeans that we are arrogant and do not care about their status in the world. Sir, what do you think the First World War and the Second World War were all about if not the consideration of the peoples ofEurope? Are you brain dead? What do you think the Marshall Plan was all about?
>
>
>
> Do you not understand or know the history of the 20th century? Where do you get off telling a Muslim country that the United States does not consider itself a Christian country? Have you not read the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution of the United States ? This country was founded on Judeo-Christian ethics and the principles governing this country, at least until you came along, come directly from this heritage. Do you not understand this?
>
>
>
> Your bowing to the king of Saudi Arabia is an affront to allAmericans. Our President does not bow down to anyone, let alone the king of Saudi Arabia . You don't show Great Britain , our best and one of our oldest allies, the respect they deserve yet you bow down to the king of Saudi Arabia . How dare you, sir! How dare you!
>
>
>
> You can't find the time to visit the graves of our greatest generation because you don't want to offend the Germans but make time to visit a mosque in Turkey . You offended our dead and every veteran when you give the Germans more respect than the people who saved the German people from themselves. What's the matter with you?
>
>
>
> I am convinced that you and the members of your administration have the historical and intellectual depth of a mud puddle and should be ashamed of yourselves, all of you. You are so self-righteously offended by the big bankers and the American automobile manufacturers yet do nothing about the real thieves in this situation, Mr. Dodd, Mr. Frank, Franklin Raines, Jamie Gorelic, the Fannie Mae bonuses, and the Freddie Mac bonuses. What do you intend to do about them?Anything? I seriously doubt it.
>
>
>
> What about the U.S. House members passing out $9.1 million in bonuses to their staff members -- on top of the $2.5 million in automatic pay raises that lawmakers gave themselves? I understand the average House aide got a 17% bonus. I took a 5% cut in my pay to save jobs with my employer.
>
>
>
> You haven't said anything about that. Who authorized that? I surely didn't! Executives at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will be receiving $210 million in bonuses over an eighteen-month period, that's $45 million more than the AIG bonuses. In fact, Fannie and Freddie executives have already been awarded $51 million -- not a bad take. Who authorized that and why haven't you expressed your outrage at this group who are largely responsible for the economic mess we have right now.
>
>
>
> I resent that you take me and my fellow citizens as brain-dead and not caring about what you idiots do. We are watching what you are doing and we are getting increasingly fed up with all of you. I also want you to know that I personally find just about everything you do and say to be offensive to every one of my sensibilities. I promise you that I will work tirelessly to see that you do not get a chance to spend two terms destroying my beautiful country.

...Very Scary Stuff Happening Now...

Doubtful? Verify this for yourself
Whether you are an Obama fan, or not,
EVERYONE IN THE U. S. Needs to know....
Something happened... H.R. 1388 was
passed in January, behind our backs. You may want to read
about it. It wasn't mentioned on the news... Just went
by on the ticker tape at the bottom of the CNN screen.
Obama funds $20M in tax payer dollars to
immigrate Hamas Refugees to the USA. This is the news that
didn't make the headlines...
By executive order, President Barack
Obama has ordered the expenditure of $20.3 million in
"migration assistance" to the Palestinian refugees
and "conflict victims" in Gaza.
The "presidential
determination", which allows hundreds of thousands of
Palestinians with ties to Hamas to resettle in the United
States, was signed on January 27 and appeared in the Federal
Register on February 4.
Few on Capitol Hill, or in the media,
took note that the order provides a free ticket replete with
housing and food allowances to individuals who have
displayed their overwhelming support to the Islamic
Resistance Movement (Hamas) in the parliamentary election of
January 2006.
Let's review...itemized list of some
of Barack Obama's most recent actions since his
inauguration:
His first call to any head of state, as
president, was to Mahmoud Abbas, leader of Fatah party in
the Palestinian territory.
His first one-on-one television interview
with any news organization was with Al Arabia television.
His first executive order was to
fund/facilitate abortion(s) not just here within the U. S.,
but within the world, using U. S. Tax payer funds.
He ordered Guantanamo Bay closed and all
military trials of detainees halted.
He ordered overseas CIA interrogation
centers closed.
He withdrew all charges against the
masterminds behind the USS Cole and the "terror
attack" on 9/11.
Now we learn that he is allowing hundreds
of thousands of Palestinian refuges to move to, and live in,
the US at American taxpayer expense.
These important, and insightful, issues
are being "lost" in the blinding bail-outs and
"stimulation" packages.

Doubtful? Verify this for yourself
PLEASE PASS THIS ON... AMERICA NEEDS TO
KNOW
WE are losing this country at a rapid
pace.

Reply to "I don't Care..."

I felt that this was important enough that it needs a much larger audience. So I re-print this here, with permission.

"By no means do I take away from the words of the fellow Canadian whom you have shared. But my -not caring- stems deeper than that of a woman, a person, an individual, who is only seeing the little picture.

How can one assume that the world's problems can be solved through tolerance when 90% of history's "organized religion" has taught otherwise.

Acceptance can only be achieved if and when the youth of today are being educated as such, as so, and so on.

The recent passing of Bill 44 proved that even in Canada, the LAND OF THE FREE, there is intolerance. 'Free' in our nation? More like, free us from our nation. Not only do individuals have the freedom/right to vote on such matters, but now they also have the power to CHOOSE what their children CAN learn, through a lack of participation and communication with their teachers and fellow students.

Religion, sexual education and orientation have always been touchy subjects because they are not being talked about in the right ways. By cutting communication and discussion on this matters (or "issues" if you want to be like that) we are stunting their growth and dampening the advancement of the spiritual war.


Watch it here

I implore you to watch this video and not only consider the message that it intends to send, because... however, it is true.

There is only one culture who's fertility rate is not only above the necessary to maintain their culture, but well-surpassing all others. This, will change the global demographic, drastically.


Consider it."

I Don't Care...

Wow, would I like to shake this Lady's hand....she has nailed it with this letter!!

This was written by a Canadian woman, in her local paper, but oh how it also applies to the U.S. , U.K. and Australia

THIS ONE PACKS A FIRM PUNCH

Here is a woman who should run for Prime Minister!

Written by a housewife in New Brunswick, to her local newspaper. This
is one ticked off lady.


'Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we? Was it or was it not
started by Islamic people who brought it to our shores on September 11, 2001
and have continually threatened to do so since?


Were people from all over the world, not brutally murdered that day,
in downtown Manhattan, across the Potomac from the nation's capitol and in
a field in Pennsylvania ?

Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a horrible,
burning or crushing death that day, or didn't they?

And I'm supposed to care that a few Taliban were claiming to be
tortured by a justice system of the nation they come from and are fighting
against in a brutal insurgency

I'll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in and repents
for incinerating all those innocent people on 9/11.

I'll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East start
caring about the Holy Bible, the mere belief of which is a crime punishable
by beheading in Afghanistan .

I'll care when these thugs tell the world they are sorry for hacking
off Nick Berg's head while Berg screamed through his gurgling slashed
throat.

I'll care when the cowardly so-called 'insurgents' in Afghanistan come
out and fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion by
hiding in mosques.

I'll care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves up in search
of nirvana care about the innocent children within range of their suicide
bombs.

I'll care when the Canadian media stops pretending that their freedom
of speech on stories is more important than the lives of the soldiers on
the ground or their families waiting at home to hear about them when
something happens.

In the meantime, when I hear a story about a CANADIAN soldier roughing
up an Insurgent terrorist to obtain information, know this:


I don't care.

When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is told not
to move because he might be booby-trapped, you can take it to the bank:

I don't care.


When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran and a prayer mat,
and 'fed special' food that is paid for by my tax dollars, is complaining
that his holy book is being 'mishandled,' you can absolutely believe in
your heart of hearts:

I don't care.


And oh, by the way, I've noticed that sometimes it's spelled 'Koran'
and other times 'Quran.' Well, Jimmy Crack Corn you guessed it,

I don't care!!

If you agree with this viewpoint, pass this on to all your E-mail
friends Sooner or later, it'll get to the people responsible for this
ridiculous Behaviour!


If you don't agree, then by all means hit the delete button. Should
you choose the latter, then please don't complain when more atrocities
committed by radical Muslims happen here in our great Country!
And may I add:


'Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a
difference in the world. But, the Soldiers don't have that problem.'

I have another quote that I would like to add, AND.......I hope you
forward all this.


One last thought for the day:

Only five defining forces have ever offered to die for you:


1. Jesus Christ
2. The Canadian Soldier.
3. The British Soldier..
4. The US Soldier, and
5. The Australian Soldier



One died for your soul, the other 4 for your freedom.

Feel free to copy/paste this. Perhaps some of those responsible will see this, and think...

A pleasant surprise...

Not too long ago, I backed a woman singer, a pleasant lady named Valdine, at a local venue. Our audience was a slightly older demographic than I’ve had for a while, but that’s not the topic of this blog.

Valdine, in contrast to the bulk of my experience with girl singers, was gracious enough to let me take over the room for the last 20 minutes or so of the show.

So I did.

Considering the age of the clientele, and the setting we were in (I was expecting the front row to be asleep) they received me with, well, really overwhelming enthusiasm, so much so that I commented more than once, “You folks REALLY need to get out more.”
I t was so much fun, that, rather than “hang it up” for a year like I was planning, instead, perhaps I’ll take some gigs locally.

To that end, I’ve actually started talking to some GMs, and it looks better than I would’ve thought…Some of these places even pay almost real money. Those of you who know me know what I mean.

Why, it’s almost like home. (Shall we go to the Carlyle, anyone?)

Who knew? What recession? Apparently, these buyers have decided not to participate.

Anonymous

I sound like a "very troubled soul" This is on good authority [courageously signing his/her lofty indictments as "Anonymous"]. And of course, he/she has the clinical qualifications to back up this assessment, or at least, the power of his/her convictions to stand behind such statements by signing his/her name to them...OH! They didn't sign their name...what do you know?

That's cool. It was either one of five people I know, and I know the value of those opinions, and so can treat them with all the consideration they deserve, (None), or it's from some stranger, and in which case, I don't care what they think, as they don't know me, and I don't know them.

In other words, my music, my website, my blog, my professional objectives and intellectual pursuits are, in all respects and in fact, truly things that I stand behind, are the result of years of wide life and professional experience, and reflecting on those experiences in the still quiet places in my soul. Experience and not merely superficial, simplistic attempts at trying be heard above a relativistic din of increasingly discordant mediocrity posturing in the culture as style or substance. My life and professional focus bear no relationship whatsoever to such tasteless ephemera

So much for the opinions of "Anonymous".
Perhaps now I can deal with issues more pertinent to this blog.

Enough is enough...

There is nothing like dealing with donkeys. When one pictures a donkey in one’s mind, Stubbornness and intellectually challenged, are the first attributes that come to mind. Also, they tend to be strong, as they are generally used as beasts of burden. When using the image of a donkey to describe a human, a certain lack of sophistication would also be applicable.

I was listening to a radio show today, or perhaps yesterday, where a woman was extolling the virtues of so-called Rednecks. She was explaining the “red” neck came from laboring in the fields, exposed to the elements, and that’s why the “red” neck. But she was also quick to point out that those so-called “red” necks were some of the finest, most generous, and hard-working folks she knew, and that she was pleased to identify herself as a red neck. She said she was tired at how the term “Red Neck” came to have such a derogatory connotation attached to it, when, in her opinion, they are such fine people.

This particular woman, like most “Red Necks” I have met, and certainly like the ones I know personally, completely miss the point.

Hard working? Goes without saying. Generous? In my experience, I would say that the majority of the ones I’ve dealt with are very generous, loving people indeed. No one, not ONE so called city slicker I know, including me, will take issue with any of these characteristics. These are their strengths. It’s where they are weak that they have earned the reputation of being stupid and Donkey-like. That area is….

Ignorance. And this can be fixed. Indeed, I have friends from the Deep South, who are truly fine people, in every sense of the word. They know how to behave at the table, they are great patrons of the arts, and they have taken the time to refine themselves in every way that one might consider important. They can tell you the difference between say, Jazz and Classical music, and are able to appreciate both. They can talk with both knowledge and ease about Picasso and Frieda Khalo and know the differences between them. And supposedly, the Deep South has been thought to be a haven for “Red Necks.”

And this is precisely what people like me, hold in disdain about real Red Necks. Their ignorance. And here is what I’ve seen, with my own eyes, and heard with my own ears.
The really, stupid ones don’t know how ignorant they are, the moderately stupid ones when you tell them how boorish and low they’re behaving (Notice – I said …” they’re behaving…” not …”they are…”) they either don’t believe you, or come right out and say something like, “You’re crazy and paranoid” And get angry at you for pointing out the obvious, and then don’t talk to you.
It gets better….

The smart ones, they sometimes have money, sometimes they’ve traveled the planet. They know they’re ignorant – THEY DON”T CARE!! You know something? My friends from the Deep South – perhaps they know the stereotype that pursues them, perhaps they go back to their roots when they owned plantations…I don’t know the reasons, but they are almost always a pleasure to deal with. For me, in any case. Do you know where I find real Red Necks? And I’m talking about ignorance here. Just plain boorish, ignorant anal-retentive, politically correct, self-satisfied, self entitled know-nothings. They’re the ones who drive in the fast lane on the freeway in front of you, and won’t pull over to the right to let you pass. They’re the ones who are on the cell phone who aren’t paying attention to you honking at them to get off the road. They’re the ones who honestly believe that anyone can paint, or draw or play music in a church or professionally without having a gift or without knowledge. If it’s so easy, idiot, sit down at my piano, and show me how you play. You have a big mouth – now let’s see you back it up.

And by the way, I know that certain truck drivers have to talk on the phone while they are driving. I’m not talking about them. They are doing their job. That’s why they have the training they do.

What is a red neck’s serious failing? It’s coming to decisions about things without doing any kind of head-banging, soul-searching or any other kind of reflective process. It’s thinking, “I can download any kind of music I want without paying for it.” “It’s my right” Yeah? What about the rights of the guy or girl or created the music you’re so fond of, you dumb shit? How about I come get my car repaired at your garage and just leave without paying? I have the right too. How about that?

And who told you that you can play keyboards in a church group, when you so clearly can’t even find middle “C”? You bleeding wanker! First of all, it’s not a stage, it’s an altar. And in any case, since you clearly don’t know the difference, get off, and get out of the way.

This is why red necks, and I mean real “red necks” have the bad connotation to the name. If you don’t like it, radio lady, if you don’t like it, Calgary, Alberta: If you don’t like it, North Dakota, If you don’t like it small-town America, and part of urban North America, then do like some of my friends in the South: Go out and get a clue. Educate yourselves in things that lift us higher and transform us from mere talking beasts into something more. Put down the stupid beer, you damn wanker, and get a clue.
