        <description>&lt;h2 class=&quot;sf_blog_posttitle&quot;&gt;A man is born to take care of a woman...&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;sf_blog_entry&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://images.quickblogcast.com/8/7/6/3/5/262906-253678/abackbed02c.jpg?a=22&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;238&quot; height=&quot;206&quot; /&gt;So, ladies make sure you put your head on the right pillow...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because a man who doesn't acknowledge this is not worth being with.... as all the real men know it and act accordingly...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sure, with the youth (there is growth, hope and awareness for them), but the foolish, self-centered men never grasp this concept and for this they end up the losers in the love and the relationship area... ever searching, always blaming, never really attaining...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also a man who doesn't recognize this, as what he was born to do is not worth much in other 'real' men's eyes (no matter how much they may protest). A man in not much in his own eyes, either, if he doesn't follow the laws of nature and God... hence their escape, additions, over-emphasis on sex, violence, objectifying and oppressing the feminine. It's their need and desire of her that they fear...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Men admire other men who provide well and take care of their woman ...and families...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In most all instances, the look on a woman's face will tell you much about the man in her life...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>                     <author>noreply@fubar.com (duke of URL)</author>

&lt;div class=&quot;text_exposed_root text_exposed&quot;&gt;Just  when you think you have heard all of the stupid things that are going on in the  US -- this comes along...Black hurricanes....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, it appears our  African-American friends have found yet something else to be pissed about. A  black congresswoman (this would be Sheila Jackson Lee, of Houston), reportedly  complained that the names of hurricanes are all Caucasian sounding  names.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She would prefer using some names that reflect African-American  culture such as Tyrone, Tanisha, Woeisha, Shaquille, and Jamal. I am NOT making  this up!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;text_exposed_hide&quot;&gt;...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;text_exposed_show&quot;&gt; &lt;br /&gt;She would also like the weather reports to be  broadcast in 'language' that street people can understand because one of the  problems that happened in New Orleans was that black people couldn't understand  the seriousness of the situation due to the racially biased language of the  weather report.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So guess that means if the weather person says that the  winds are going to blow at 140+ MPH that's too hard to understand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can't  you just hear it now: A weatherman in New Orleans says...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wazzup,  mutha-fukkas! Hehr-I-cane Tannika be headin' fo yo ass like Leroy on a rocket!  Bitch be a category fo! So, turn off dem chitlins, grab yo' chirren, &lt;br /&gt;leave  yo crib, and head fo da nearest FEMA office fo yo FREE  shit.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

And then there is the matter of his troubling  associations: the white-hating, America-loathing preacher who for decades served  as Obama's &quot;spiritual mentor&quot;; a real-life, actual terrorist who served as  Obama's colleague and political sponsor. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is easy to imagine a future  historian looking at it all and asking: how on Earth was such a man elected  president?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not content to wait for history, the incomparable Norman  Podhoretz addressed the question recently in the Wall Street Journal: To be  sure, no white candidate who had close associations with an outspoken hater of  America like Jeremiah Wright and an unrepentant terrorist like Bill Ayers, would  have lasted a single day. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But because Mr. Obama was black, and therefore  entitled in the eyes of liberaldom to have hung out with protesters against  various American injustices, even if they were a bit extreme, he was given a  pass. Let that sink in: Obama was given a pass - held to a lower standard -  because of the color of his skin..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Podhoretz continues: And in any  case, what did such ancient history matter when he was also so articulate and  elegant and (as he himself had said) &quot;non-threatening,&quot; all of which gave him a  fighting chance to become the first black president and thereby to lay the curse  of racism to rest? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Podhoretz puts his finger, I think, on the  animating pulse of the Obama phenomenon - affirmative action. Not in the legal  sense, of course. But certainly in the motivating sentiment behind all  affirmative action laws and regulations, which are designed primarily to make  white people, and especially white liberals, feel good about  themselves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately, minorities often suffer so that whites can pat  themselves on the back. Liberals routinely admit minorities to schools for which  they are not qualified, yet take no responsibility for the inevitable poor  performance and high drop-out rates which follow. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Liberals don't care if  these minority students fail; liberals aren't around to witness the emotional  devastation and deflated self-esteem resulting from the racist policy that is  affirmative action. Yes, racist. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Holding someone to a separate standard  merely because of the color of his skin - that's affirmative action in a  nutshell, and if that isn't racism, then nothing is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And that is what  America did to Obama. True, Obama himself was never troubled by his lack of  achievements, but why would he be? As many have noted, Obama was told he was  good enough for Columbia despite undistinguished grades at Occidental; he was  told he was good enough for the US Senate despite a mediocre record in Illinois;  he was told he was good enough to be president despite no record at all in the  Senate. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All his life, every step of the way, Obama was told he was good  enough for the next step, in spite of ample evidence to the  contrary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What could this breed if not the sort of empty narcissism on  display every time Obama speaks?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2008, many who agreed that he lacked  executive qualifications nonetheless raved about Obama's oratory skills,  intellect, and cool character. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those people - conservatives included -  ought now to be deeply embarrassed. The man thinks and speaks in the hoariest of  clichés, and that's when he has his Teleprompters in front of him; when the  prompter is absent he can barely think or speak at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not one original  idea has ever issued from his mouth &amp;ndash; it's all warmed-over Marxism of the kind  that has failed over and over again for 100 years..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And what about his  character? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama is constantly blaming anything and everything else for  his troubles. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bush did it; it was bad luck; I inherited this mess.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is embarrassing to see a president so willing to advertise his own  powerlessness, so comfortable with his own incompetence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But really, what  were we to expect? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The man has never been responsible for anything, so  how do we expect him to act responsibly? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In short: our president is a  small and small-minded man, with neither the temperament nor the intellect to  handle his job.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you understand that, and only when you understand  that, will the current erosion of liberty and prosperity make sense. It could  not have gone otherwise with such a man in the Oval  Office.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;

        <description>&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Passions Fire said:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dear Jojo&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I don't care. I know you try REALLY hard to get my attention, and I know you spend HOURS doing what you think are hilarious pictures in an effort to garner that attention. I know you crave my approval, and I know you are desperate, so very desperate, for me just to notice you. And yes, I occasionally do, because I do feel sorry for you sometimes - like now.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But I just don't care.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nor will I ever care, Jojo. I hate to break it to you like this, because I know it's harsh. But I won't. Not unless I have a serious brain injury and for some reason my family chooses to let me live with my altered personality and my much-lessened intellect; then and only then, Jojo, will you ever have a chance of me actually speaking to you as if you are not the creepiest old motherfucker in the MuMMs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But please do not place all your hopes onto the brain injury Jojo. I'm sorry, but it's highly unlikely. And if it were to occur Jojo, be assured that 'speaking to you like you're not a creepy motherfucker' is nowhere near the level of attention that you crave from me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So please, keep yourself amused with the various array of vacuous and slovenly cows that can type out LOL all by themselves. For they, Jojo, they are your true soulmates. You and I could never, and should never, be.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Deal with it. Delete all your gifs, jpgs and copy-pasted retorts. Delete my profile from your favourites bar. Delete my name from your heart Jojo, because believe me, there's no way in fucking hell I am ever going to return your affection.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sincerely&lt;br /&gt;Me.&lt;br /&gt;-------------------------------------------My responsw:-----------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;duke of URL said:&lt;br /&gt;Hate to break it to you, you just did! You flatter me to spend all that time typing that testimonial to me. Indeed, I am the one that has touched you! I had no idea that you were taking it so hard. After all, it was all done in a passionate way. I am impressed.&lt;/p&gt;

        <description>&lt;p&gt;Lollipops turn into cigarettes. The innocent ones turn into sluts. Homework goes into the trash. Detention becomes suspension. Mobile phones are used in class. Soda becomes vodka. Bikes become cars. Kisses turn into sex. Remember when getting high meant swinging at the playground? When protection meant wearing a helmet? When the worst things you could get from boys were cooties? Your dads shoulders were the highest place on the Earth, and you mom was your hero? Race issues were who ran the fastest. The only drug you knew of was cough medicine. The most pain you felt was when you scraped your knees. Goodbyes only meant until tomorrow. Smh, and we all couldn't wait to grow up -.-&lt;/p&gt;</description>                     <author>noreply@fubar.com (duke of URL)</author>

        <description>&lt;table border=&quot;0&quot;&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt; &lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt; &lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;
&lt;p&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you're spiritually alive, you're going to love this!&lt;br /&gt;If you're spiritually dead, you won't want to read it.&lt;br /&gt;If you're spiritually curious, there is still hope!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A Church goer wrote a letter to the editor of a newspaper and complained that it made no sense to go to church every Sunday.  &quot;I've gone for 30 years now,&quot; he wrote, &quot;and in that time I have&lt;br /&gt;heard something like 3,000 sermons.  But for the life of me, I can't remember a single one of them.  So, I think I'm wasting my time and the pastors are wasting theirs by giving sermons at all.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This started a real controversy in the &quot;Letters to the Editor&quot; column, much to the delight of the editor.  It went on for weeks until someone wrote this clincher:&lt;br /&gt;&quot;I've been married for 30 years now.  In that time my wife has cooked some 32,000 meals. But, for the life of me, I cannot recall the entire menu for a single one of those meals.  But I do know&lt;br /&gt;this.  They all nourished me and gave me the strength I needed to do my work.  If my wife had not given me these meals, I would be physically dead today.  Likewise, if I had not gone to church for nourishment, I would be spiritually dead today!&quot;  When you are DOWN to nothing...... God is UP to something!  Faith sees the invisible, believes the incredible and receives the impossible! Thank God for our physical AND our spiritual nourishment!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All right, now that you're done reading, send it on!  I think everyone should read this!&lt;br /&gt;&quot;When Satan is knocking at your door, simply say, &quot;Jesus, could you get that for me?&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt; &lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;

        <description>
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At a time when many Americans can barely afford Burger King and a movie, Obama boasts of spending a billion dollars on his re-election campaign. Questioned at a recent appearance about the spiraling fuel costs, Obama said, &quot;Get used to it&quot; &amp;ndash; and with an insouciant grin and chortle, he told another person at the event, who complained about the effect high fuel prices were having on his family, to &quot;get a more fuel-efficient car.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Obamas behave as if they were sharecroppers living in a trailer and hit the Powerball, but instead of getting new tires for their trailer and a new pickup truck, they moved to Washington . And instead of making possum pie, with goats and chickens in the front yard, they're spending and living large at taxpayer expense &amp;ndash; opulent vacations, gala balls, resplendent dinners and exclusive command performances at the White House, grand date nights, golf, basketball, more golf, exclusive resorts and still more golf.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Expensive, ill-fitting and ill-chosen wigs and fashions hardly befit the first lady of the United States . The Obamas have behaved in every way but presidential &amp;ndash; which is why it's so offensive when we hear Obama say, in order &quot;to restore fiscal responsibility, we all need to share in the sacrifice &amp;ndash; but we don't have to sacrifice the America we believe in.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The American people have been sacrificing; it is he and his family who are behaving as if they've never had two nickels to rub together &amp;ndash; and now, having hit the mother lode, they're going to spend away their feelings of inadequacy at the taxpayers' expense.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Obama continues to exhibit behavior that, at best, can be described as mobocratic and, at worst, reveals a deeply damaged individual. In a February 2010 column, I asked, &quot;Is Obama unraveling? &quot;I wrote that it was beginning to appear the growing mistrust of him and contempt for his policies was beginning to have a destabilizing effect on him.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At that time, I wrote that not having things go one's way can be a bitter pill, but reasonable people don't behave as he was behaving. He had insulted Republicans at their luncheon, where he had been an invited guest. I had speculated that was, in part, what had led him to falsely accuse Supreme Court justices before Congress, the nation and the world, during the 2010 State of the Union address.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It appeared, at that time, as if he were &quot;fraying around the emotional edges.&quot; That behavior has not abated &amp;ndash; it has become more pronounced. While addressing the nation, after being forced to explain the validity of his unilateral aggression with Libya , America witnessed a petulant individual scowling and scolding the public for daring to insist he explain his actions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But during an afternoon speech to address the budget/debt, he took his scornful, unstable despotic behavior to depths that should give the nation cause for concern. Displaying a dark psychopathy more representative of an episode of &quot;The Tudors&quot; television series, he invited Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., to sit in the front row during his speech and then proceeded to berate both Ryan and Ryan's budget-cutting plan. Even liberal Democrats were put off by the act. MSNBC's Joe Scarborough questioned the sanity of Obama's actions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Today, criticism is coming from all sides. A senior Democrat lawmaker said, &quot;I have been very disappointed in [Obama], to the point where I'm embarrassed that I endorsed him. It's so bad that some of us are thinking, is there some way we can replace him? How do you get rid of this guy?&quot; (&quot;Democrats' Disgust with Obama,&quot; The Daily Beast, April 15, 2011)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Steve McCann wrote: Obama's speech &quot;was chock full of lies, deceit and crass fear-mongering. It must be said that [he] is the most dishonest, deceitful and mendacious person in a position of power I have ever witnessed&quot; (&quot;The Mendacity of Barack Obama,&quot;AmericanThinker.com&lt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://AmericanThinker.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://AmericanThinker.com&lt;/a&gt;&gt; , April 15, 2011).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;McCann continued: &quot;[His] performance was the culmination of four years of outright lies and narcissism that have been largely ignored by the media, including some in the conservative press and political class who are loath to call [him] what he is in the bluntest of terms: a liar and a fraud. That he relies on his skin color to intimidate, either outright or by insinuation [against] those who oppose his radical agenda only add to his audacity. It is apparent that he has gotten away with his character flaws his entire life, aided and abetted by sycophants around him. ...&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With these being among the kinder rebukes being directed at Obama, and with people becoming less intimidated by his willingness to use race as a bludgeon, with falling poll numbers in every meaningful category and an increasingly aggressive tea-party opposition &amp;ndash; how much longer before he cracks completely?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The coming months of political life are not going to be pleasant for Obama. Possessed by a self-perceived palatine mindset, that in his mind places him above criticism, how long before he cracks in public? Can America risk a man with a documented track record of lying and misrepresenting truth as a basic way of life, who is becoming increasingly more contumelious?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hope you forward this to everyone in your address book as we are going to need every vote we can get to remove Obama. The liberals are just unable to absorb what he is doing to our country and will continue to vote for him. Just imagine what he will do to America if he gets another term !&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

        <pubDate>Tue, 10 Jan 2012 08:47:10 -0800</pubDate>         <atom:updated>2012-01-10T08:47:10-08:00</atom:updated>         <title>Should I give up Face Book?</title>
        <description>&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;  I know some of you are not 50 yet, but thought you would enjoy the message below anyway.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When I bought my Blackberry, I thought about the 30-year business I ran with 1800 employees, all without a cell phone that plays music, takes videos, pictures and communicates with Facebook and Twitter. I signed up under duress for Twitter and Facebook, so my seven kids, their spouses, 13 grand kids and 2 great grand kids could communicate with me in the modern way. I figured I could handle something as simple as Twitter with only 140 characters of space.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That was before one of my grandkids hooked me up for Tweeter, Tweetree, Twhirl, Twitterfon, Tweetie and Twittererific Tweetdeck, Twitpix and something that sends every message to my cell phone and every other program within the texting world..&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My phone was beeping every three minutes with the details of everything except the bowel movements of the entire next generation. I am not ready to live like this. I keep my cell phone in the garage in my junk bag.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The kids bought me a GPS for my last birthday because they say I get lost every now and then going over to the grocery store or library. I keep that in a box under my tool bench with the Blue tooth [it's red] phone I am supposed to use when I drive. I wore it once and was standing in line at Barnes and Noble talking to my wife and everyone in the nearest 50 yards was glaring at me. I had to take my hearing aid out to use it,and I got a little loud.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I mean the GPS looked pretty smart on my dash board, but the lady inside that gadget was the most annoying, rudest person I had run into in a long time. Every 10 minutes, she would sarcastically say, &quot;Re-calc-u-lating.&quot; You would think that she could be nicer. It was like she could barely tolerate me. She would let go with a deep sigh and then tell me to make a U-turn at the next light. Then if I made a right turn instead. Well, it was not a good relationship.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When I get really lost now, I call my wife and tell her the name of the cross streets and while she is starting to develop the same tone as Gypsy, the GPS lady, at least she loves me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To be perfectly frank, I am still trying to learn how to use the cordless phones in our house. We have had them for 4 years, but I still haven't figured out how I can lose three phones all at once and have to run around digging under chair cushions and checking bathrooms and the dirty laundry baskets when the phone rings..&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The world is just getting too complex for me. They even mess me up every time I go to the grocery store. You would think they could settle on something themselves but this sudden &quot;Paper or Plastic?&quot; every time I check out just knocks me for a loop. I bought some of those cloth reusable bags to avoid looking confused, but I never remember to take them in with me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now I toss it back to them. When they ask me, &quot;Paper or Plastic?&quot; I just say &quot;Doesn't matter to me. I am bi-sacksual.&quot; Then it's their turn to stare at me with a blank look.I was recently asked if I tweet. I answered, No, but I do toot a lot.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hope you get a laugh out of this....I know I did....&lt;/p&gt;

This year will be  different. This year Americans will give the gift of genuine concern for other  Americans. There is no longer an excuse that, at gift giving time, nothing can  be found that is produced by American hands. Yes there  is!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

And, if  your intended isn't the fancy eatery sort, what about a half dozen breakfasts at  the local breakfast joint. Remember, folks this isn't about big National chains  -- this is about supporting your home town Americans with their financial lives  on the line to keep their doors  open.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

When you buy a five dollar string of light, about fifty cents stays in  the community. If you have those kinds of bucks to burn, leave the mailman,  trash guy or babysitter a nice BIG  tip.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Christmas is now about caring about US,  encouraging American small businesses to keep plugging away to follow their  dreams. And, when we care about other Americans, we care about our communities,  and the benefits come back to us in ways we couldn't imagine.

        <description>&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SCARRRRRY, be sure to read the obituary at the end very interesting&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;DR. WILLIAMS predicts that Obama can not lose the 2012 election.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;IN ADDITION TO THE VOTING BLOCKS HE MENTIONS, THERE IS ANOTHER HUGE GROUP: THE NEARLY ONE-HALF OF ALL ADULTS DO NOT PAY ANY TAXES AND, IN FACT, MOST OF THEM RECEIVE MONEY FROM THE GOVERNMENT. THESE PEOPLE DO NOT WANT TO &quot;SHAKE THE BOAT&quot; TO DO ANYTHING TO STOP THE FLOW OF TAXPAYER MONEY TO THEMSELVES.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dr. Williams prediction: Maybe you have read some newspaper articles written by Dr. Williams a conservative economist who happens to be Black. He has taught at several Universities and is currently teaching at George Mason University .&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No Matter What&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;By Dr. Walter Williams&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Can President Obama be defeated in 2012? No. He can't. I am going on record as saying that President Barak Obama will win a second term.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The media won't tell you this because a good election campaign means hundreds of millions (or in Obama's case billions) of dollars to them in advertising.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But the truth is, there simply are no conditions under which Barak Obama can be defeated in 2012.&lt;br /&gt;The quality of the Republican candidate doesn't matter. Obama gets reelected. Nine percent unemployment? No problem. Obama will win. Gas pricesmoving toward five dollars a gallon? He still wins. The economy soars or goes into the gutter. Obama wins. War in the Middle East ? He wins a second term.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;America's role as the leading Superpower disappears? Hurrah for Barak Obama! The US . government rushes toward bankruptcy, the dollar continues to sink on world markets and the price of daily goods and services soars due to inflation fueled by Obama's extraordinary deficit spending? Obama wins handily.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You are crazy Williams. Don't you understand how volatile politics can be when overall economic, government, and world conditions are declining? Sure I do.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And that's why I know Obama will win. The American people are notoriously ignorant of economics. And economics is the key to why Obama should be defeated.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Even when Obama's policies lead the nation to final ruin, the majority of the American people are going to believe the bait-and-switch tactics Obama and his supporters in the media will use to explain why it isn't his fault. After all, things were much worse than understood when he took office.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Obama's reelection is really a very, very simple math problem. Consider the following:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1) Blacks will vote for Obama blindly. Period. Doesn't matter what he does. It's a race thing. He's one of us,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2) College educated women will vote for Obama. Though they will be offended by this, they swoon at his oratory. It's really not more complex than that,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3) Liberals will vote for Obama. He is their great hope,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;4) Democrats will vote for Obama. He is the leader of their party and his coat tails will carry them to victory nationwide,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;5) Hispanics will vote for Obama. He is the path to citizenship for those who are illegal and Hispanic leaders recognize the political clout they carry in the Democratic Party,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;6) Union members will vote overwhelmingly for Obama. He is their key to money and power in business, state and local politics,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;7) Big Business will support Obama. They already have. He has almost $1 Billion dollars in his reelection purse gained largely from his connections with Big Business and is gaining more everyday. Big Business loves Obama because he gives them access to taxpayer money so long as they support his social and political agenda,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;8) The media love him. They may attack the people who work for him, but they love him. After all, to not love him would be racist,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;9) Most other minorities and special interest groups will vote for him. Oddly, the overwhelming majority of Jews and Muslims will support him because they won't vote Republican. American Indians will support him. Obviously homosexuals tend to vote Democratic. And lastly,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;10) Approximately half of independents will vote for Obama. And he doesn't need anywhere near that number because he has all of the groups previously mentioned. The President will win an overwhelming victory in 2012.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-- Dr. Walter Williams&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Obituary-Very Interesting!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;America&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Born 1776, Died 2008&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It doesn't hurt to read this several times.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline University School of Law in St. Paul , Minnesota , points out some interesting facts concerning the last Presidential election:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;*   Number of States won by: Obama:19 McCain: 29&lt;br /&gt; *&lt;br /&gt; *   Square miles of land won by: Obama:580,000 McCain: 2,427,000&lt;br /&gt; *&lt;br /&gt; *   Population of counties won by: Obama:127million McCain: 143 million&lt;br /&gt; *&lt;br /&gt; *   Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Obama: 13.2 McCain: 2.1&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Professor Olson adds: &quot;In aggregate, the map of the territory McCain won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of the country.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Obama territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in low income tenements and living off various forms of government welfare...&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the &quot;complacency and apathy&quot; phase of Professor Tyler's definition of democracy, with some forty percent of the nation's population already having reached the &quot;governmental dependency&quot; phase.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal invaders called illegal's - and they vote - then we can say goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
