Jon Christian Ryter's Conservative World

ricniemela@*************.com—May 8, 2013—(An email forward). Breakfast at McDonald's—This is a good story, and it's true. Please read it all the way through to the end.

elsiemcneil@*************.com—May 4, 2013—(An email forward). I hope every Christian who is offended will forward this and keep it going. On the Today Show, Matt Lauer interviewed the wife of one of the Navy Seals killed along with the US Ambassador of Libya. Lauer asked: "What she would say to her children about their Dad, and how she would want them to remember him. Her answer, and I quote: "His love for Christ," and then continued with a few other things. Throughout the day, and now the MSNBC home page, replaying the story they edited out the "Love of Christ" part. Why? Because using the word Christ might offend someone. Well, I am a Christian, and I am offended! I am offended that they would edit it out. Offended that we, as Christians, are asked to tread lightly so as not to offend someone of another religion...This man loved his country and loved his God, and gave his life for both, just as Christ gave His life for him...(Editor's Note)...and for the rest of us—including those who are so concerned about the Christ-haters that they would quickly erase the most important part of a widow's eulogy for her hero husband who sacrificed his own life to save others. Those in the media who are too ashamed of Jesus Christ to mention His name need to be reminded of a few words from the Apostle in Mark 8:38 when he quoted Christ: "Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of Me and My works in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels." (Mark 8:38, KJV)

gardngrl@*************.com—April 16, 2013—Jon—I learned a lot from this piece....so much so my head is whirling, and a LOT I had already guessed. One would not have known this from our media. Thiis your best piece yet. And I will send it to everyone in my address book. But I alternately grieve and swallow sickening anger at the lack of cajones in the House.Obama should long ago have been impeached for all of his extra-curricular adventures outside the Consitution. We have lost our country...and it happened so fast. Heartbreak!

foodstr22@*************.com—Mar. 2, 2013—Well? Can someone please tell me what's wrong with the people who run this country?

stm@*************.com—Feb. 27, 2013—Insurance is a wonderful thing when it works. But read the cause of this fire—you may be surprised how it happened. Please pass this around to your family and friends. I received this from a friend who is in the property insurance business.

The original message [indented text] was written by a lady whose brother and wife learned a hard lesson last week.

Please, pass this URL along to everyone on your mail list. You never know, the homeowner whose home will be the next fire statistic might be the townhouse on the other side of your bedroom wall.

Davsmi47@*************.com—Oct. 30, 2012—Is voter fraud being committed in Ohio? First, from the personal experience of a politically astute friend in Illinois: "Thought you might be interested in a phone call received here a week ago today. I took the call because the screen on the phone showed the caller was from our area code. Here's the way the conversation went:"

It's doubtful that "Nancy—" was on any list that this group would be using today, in 2012. Unless it was an old list of Republicans who hadn't been heard from in a long while. But what would Obama people be calling long unheard-from Republicans for? (Light bulb goes off.) They are being very smart. Call Republicans who haven't voted for years to find out if they are living or dead. And cast a vote for the dead ones as recently-registered Democrats. (Particularly if you're in the country illegally and want to help Obama. A Clever way to commit vote fraud. "Yes, Virginia, I'm sad to say that there really is such a thing as voter fraud."

EDITOR'S NOTE: IN 2001, one of my clients in Miami and I were talking about Al Gore's super effort to steal the Election of 2000, and some of the unique schemes the Democratic machine in Dade County, Florida used to steal votes. Not sure what ploy I mentioned to him being used by precinct workers to disqualify ballots of those who did not vote for Gore. My client said, "I can beat that one. When I went in to vote, the poll worker told me I just missed my Dad. I said, 'Huh?' He repeated, 'You just missed your Dad. If you'd have gotten here a half hour earlier, you could have voted together.' I told him, 'That would be hard to do since my dad's been dead for almost five years.'" And, yes, my friend is a Republican—and, so was his Dad. My friend's father, who was dead, nevertheless negated his son's vote for George W. Bush.

Sharonhilt@*************.com—Sept. 11, 2012—As I am sure you know, the Washington Post newspaper has a reputation for being extremely liberal. So the fact that its editor saw fit to print the following article about Obama in its newspaper makes this a truly amazing event—and a news story in and of itself. The author of this piece is Matt Peterson, a columnist who writes for the Washington Post, New York Post and the San Francisco Examiner.

molehill@*************.com—June 14, 2012—SURVIVOR IN TEXAS—TEXAS STYLE. Due to the popularity of the "Survivor" TV program, Texas is planning to do one entitled: Survivor, Texas-style." The 8 contestants will all start in Dallas. They will go to Waco, Austin and San Antonio. Then over to Houston and down to Brownsville. Then they will proceed up to Del Rio, El Paso, Odessa, Midland, Lubbock and Amarillo. From there they will go to Abilene and Fort Worth, and finally, back to Dallas. Each will be driving a pink Prius with bumper stickers that read:

ricniemela@*************.com—June 12, 2012—CANADA BANS BIBLE ADS—The attack on Christianity continues worldwide. Is it time for a Christian Jihad? (From the Australian Beacon.) According to a December, 2001 decision by a Saskatchewan Court of Appeals, the Bible is "hate literature" if it is quoted verbatim and in context when it is used to condemn homosexuality as sin. The appellate court ruled for the provincial human rights board for fining a man for submitting a newspaper advertisement citing four passages of Scripture.

Lorne Gunter in the Edmonton, Alberta daily writes "...[imagine] the hand-wringing if ever a federal court labeled the Koran hate literature and forced a devout Muslim to pay a fine for printing some of his book's more astringent passages in an ad in a [Canadian] daily newspaper."

(Editor's Note:) 21st century Christians are getting just an infinitesimal taste of what 1st century Christians experienced daily under the yoke of pagan Rome. Matthew 24:37 warns, "But as the days of Noah were, so also shall the coming of the Son of Man be." The memory Christ was recalling was the Great Flood that destroyed a very morally corrupt mankind. Man did not learn from the lesson of Noah's day. Or, perhaps, the generations between Noah and Abraham forgot God's life lesson that the wages of sin are death. Or perhaps, once again, man saw himself as co-equal with God, and because they had a quorum, they decided man could ignore what they knew was God's will. God's judgment on Sodom, Gomarrah and the cities of the Plains—Admah, Zehoiim and Bela (which was commonly known as Zoar) came because the stench of man's lifestyle reached God's nostrils, and God erased it. The Bible very clearly admonishes man that God is about to do it again. And the social progressive, anti-population-growth politicians who first legalized abortion to reduce the planet's population and have now legalized homosexual marriage only because same sex partners cannot procreate, have cut a deal with the Devil—literally, since Antichrist will be a Muslim—as they condemn God's edicts as they ignore the radicalism of the Qu'ran and the very open agenda of the Muslim world (to either convert or behead the infidels), who today provides them with oil wealth in exchange for the help of the princes of industry to force Islam on all the nations on Earth. It violates the Constitution of the United States to force a national religion on the American people. Or even to abridge the inherent right of the People to worship God as they see fit—without any interference or restriction from government. (I guess the federal courts failed to notice the "Congress..." [including courts which legislate from the bench] "shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof...") The social progressives also failed to note that while the Holy Bible condemns homosexual acts as sin, the Qu'ran admonishes Islamics to execute those who commit them. Yet, I suspect the Saskatchewan Court of Appeals has never referred to the Qu'ran as "hate literature" since Islam, to those who fear it, is viewed as a benign religion that is plagued by a mere handful of radicals.

McMaster@*************.com—June 9, 2012—A lot is being said in the media about Mitt Romney not being "likeable." Or that he doesn't "relate well" to people. We sruggled to understand why. He is, after all, handsome, has a beautiful wife...isn't that enough to ensure popularity for most Americans?

So after much research, we have come up with a Top Ten List to explain this "unlikeability."

And one more point. Pundits say because of his wealth, he can't relate to ordinary Americans. I guess that's because he made that money ALL BY HIMSELF...a opposed to marrying it (as in John Kerry) or inheriting it from Dad (as in Jack, Robert and Ted Kennedy)...as opposed to the thousands of politicians who end up rich from being in public office where they are bribed by campaign donors to give the donor access to the pockets of the taxpayers. We didn't realize that actually working at a job and earning your own money made you a person who cannot relate to other working Americans. I guess that's because he was just better at it than the rest of us. Wait a minute: isn't that precisely what we need in America? A President who can teach the rest of us how to become more successful through self-initiative and free enterprise?

FSANCHEZ@*************.com—June 4, 2012—What's wrong? We read all the jokes we get in our email, and forward the good ones. But I wonder who will pass this one on?

Will someone please tell me what's wrong with all the people that run this country? Both Republicans and Democrats. We're broke and can't help our own seniors, veterans, orphans, homeless, etc. Yet, in the last years we have provided aid to Haiti, Chile, Pakistan, Egypt, Turkey, and Japan. Literally BILLIONS of dollars. Our retired seniors are living on fixed incomes that give them a choice between eating or keeping on the lights. They receive no aid, nor do they get any breaks from the government or from religious organizations that pour hundreds of billions of $$$ and tons of food into foreign countries. We have thousands of adoptable US children who are shoved aside to make room for the adoption of foreign orphans. To the profiteers who are paid commissions on the adoption of foreign orphans, take one more good look at America—a country where we have homeless without shelter; children going to bed hungry and afraid; elderly going without needed medications; elderly who are ill but can't afford the price of a doctor's visit, and yes, like those on the other end of the age corridor, they are also going to bed hungry—and afraid. Yet, we sleep well because we kicked in an extra $100 for "Missions" in church this month to help feed starving children in Indonesia or Somalia. Charity DOES need to begin at home.

Editor's Note: I agree. We can send our enemies large checks to feed their citizens knowing those large checks will more likely go into the pockets of the bureaucrats, or be used to buy weapons to aim at us. Or we can ship planeloads of food, fresh water, clothing, bedding and even building materials to construct shelters for the homeless in foreign lands while United States children, who have a right to expect to participate in the American dream don't come close the USDA minimum daily nutrition requirement; don't have fresh, clean water to drink, or clothing to wear. They go to bed hungry and awake with no expectation of having something to eat. If this is still America, where is their dream? Where is their hope? Because of the greed of the princes of industry and the barons of banking who are recasting the work force of the world to fit the new 21st century human capital opportunities, they have stripped the working class of the industrial nations of their middle class wealth. Charity must now BEGIN AT HOME. We need to focus the charity of our local churches and Christian organizations on US citizens who live without hope. When you live without hope, you live without faith. Without faith, you lack the connection with God. Without God, you have no salvation. Restore the hope, restore the faith...and not only do you feed the belly, you feed the mind and, most of all, you feed the soul. IT'S TIME, ONCE AGAIN, TO FEED AMERICA.

tjd189@*************.com—May 1, 2012—MAYO CLINIC ASPIRIN—Pass it on—Dr. Virend Somers, a cardiologist from the Mayo Clinic, is lead author of a report in the July 29, 2008 issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. In that report, he said

Something that we can do to help ourselves—nice to know: Bayer makes crystal aspirin to dissolve instantly on the tongue. They work faster than regular tablets. Why keep aspiring by your bedside? It's about heart attacks.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Aspirin beside the bed is a good idea, but forget Bayer's Quick Release Crystal Aspirin. Bayer pulled the product from the market on Oct. 15, 2010. Why? Mum's the word. There appears to be no evidence that the product was recalled. According to the Examiner.com, it was a marketing decision in the Bayer organization. A Bayer spokesperson told the Examiner, frst, the information about heart attacks and aspirin is still advised; and second, the spokesperson said the Crystal formula should not be used in the case of a heart attack. The reason is that Crystal Aspirin contains 850 mg. of aspirin plus caffeine and 6 mg. of phenylalanine which can be dangerous for some people since it does not mix well with some medications. Finally, the Examiner asked if people who still had the product should throw it away. The spokesperson said it was okay to use for regular pain. The FDA recommends that an apirin heart regime consist of one 81 mg. aspirin or, on the advise of your cardiologist, one 325 mg aspirin daily.

There are other symptoms of a heart attack besides the pain in the left arm. One is intense pain in the jaw as well as nausea and sometimes profuse sweating (however, these systems are less common.) It is important to note that many times there may be NO chest pain at all during a heart attack, nor even pain in the left arm. Click on this bold-faced sentence for an article on types of female heart attacks. (I wrote this article in 2006, but it applies as much today as it did six years ago.) AUTHOR'S NOTE: My brother-in-law experienced what felt to him like a nagging pin prick in his chest. He went to the emergency room. He was experiencing a heart attack from blockages in two arteries. He had an angioplasty. At 75 years of age, he still lifts weights with the 40-year old blowhards at his local gym.

The majority of people—usually women—(about 60%) who have a heart attack in their sleep do not wake up. Most women suffer cardiac attacks without any chest pain. If you suffer a heart attack while you are asleep and wake up from the pain, immediately dissolve two aspirin in your mouth and swallow them with a bit of water. Then call 911 and say, "Heart attack," and then tell them you've taken two aspirin. Immediately after that call, telephone a neighbor or family member who lives close by, and tell them you're having a heart attack. Then, take a seat on a chair or sofa near the front door (which you must unlock so the EMTs and the family member or neighbor can get in your house) and wait for help to arrive. DO NOT LIE DOWN.

This article may have just re-saved your life—particularly if phenytalanine interacts negatively with some medication that's keeping you alive. Forwarding this link to as many people as possible who read the original email (before I modified it slightly) may re-save the lives of many of your family members or friends (particularly if they stocked up on Crystal Aspirin when Bayer stopped producing it.

cals@*************.com—Apr. 23, 2012—Why Michelle Obama came home from France before Obama's Mideast trip was complete. Report from Sheppard Smith, Fox News. "If you check...Obama's last trip overseas, his wife left just after their visit to France. She had yet to accompany him to any Arab country Think about it. Why is Michelle returning to the States when 'official' trips to foreign countries generally include the First Lady?"

While in a Blockbuster renting videos I came across a video called "Obama." There were two men next to me, and we talked about ... Obama. The guys were Arabs, so I asked them why they thought Michelle Obama headed home fallowing Obama's recent visit to France instead of traveling on to Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Iraq with her husband. They told me she could not go to Saudi Arabia, Turkey or Iraq. I said, "Why not? Laura Bush went to Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Dubai." They said that Obama is a Muslim and therefore he is not allowed to bring his wife into countries that adhere to Shariah law."

I thought it was interesting that two American Arabs at Blockbuster believe [Obama] is a Muslim who follows a strict Islamic creed. They also said that's the reason [Obama] bowed to [King Abdullah] of Saudi Arabia. Dr. Jim Murk, a Middle Eastern scholar and expert on Islam...[said]: "An orthodox Muslim man would never take his wife on a politlcally-oriented trip to any nation which practices Shariah law, particularly Saudi Arabia where the Wahabbi sect is dominant..."

BAFFauthor@*************.com—Apr. 12, 2012—Sometimes the good stuff doesn't come in an email. Sometimes you're behind the wheel of the family "sportscar" and you hear it over the radio. In this case, WUSQ Radio 102.5 FM in Winchester, Virginia was reporting on an MSNBC news story that piqued my interest. According to SuperQ radio, fearing a nationwide political and economic collapse, Wyoming State lawmakers decided it's never too early to plan for an Obama doomsday collapse—complete with plans to create a constitutional State currency. Wyoming House bill HB 85 would create a state-run "government continuity task force" to prepare Wyoming for everything from potential disruptions in food and energy to a complete breakdown in the federal government. (I personally think they're too late on that one since I really think that happened on Jan. 20, 2009 about 12:01:01 p.m.)

The Wyoming legislature theoretically advanced the legislation on Monday, Feb. 27, 2012, but according to rumors, they chose to eliminate the proposed sections one House member tried to enter calling for Wyoming to form its own Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force; implement the draft, buy a few squadrons of fighter jets and, finally, acquire an aircraft carrier. With that final remark, the SuperQ dee-jay said, "An aircraft carrier? Don't the people in Wyoming realize they are landlocked? I think the first thing they need to do is buy a map!" And, the first thing the SuperQ dee-jay needs to do is buy a calendar. He missed April Fool's Day by 265 hours.

healthseekersllc@*************.com—Mar. 26, 2012—You're probably not very interested in any used farm equipment, but thought you might like to see this ad taken from Craig's List.)

McMast@*************.com—Mar. 12, 2012—Advise from Sven and Ole: Limit all US politicians to two terms: one in office. One in prison. Illinois already does this, and it seems to be working for them.

rick.beckrich@*************.com—Feb. 11, 2012—Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words...or a million votes. Sometimes the truth ruins the chuckle.

EEdithMichael@*************.com—Feb. 4 2012—You're going to love this one. Ineptocracy—a new word. Could not find it in my old Webster's. Googled it and discovered it is a recently coined new word that I found it on a T-Shirt on eBay. Getting real close to the bone! Read this one over slowly and absorb the facts that totally are within this sentence!

jezrell@*************.com—Feb. 4 2012—Many cheers for the State Farm agent. (Sometimes a photo really is worth a thousand words. No amount of verbiage can impove this one...except perhaps to say, if you live in the town where this sign is displayed, and you're thinking about changing insurance carriers, maybe you should call Bud Gregg.)

jdarnall@*************.com—Jan. 29, 2012—A new political slogan—One of the best lines I've heard came from a shop foreman at an old Buick plant in Flint, Michigan when a young black kid was being laid off. The black kid said to the shop foreman: "You're firing me because I'm black!" The boss replied: "No, we hired you because you were black. We're firing you because you are useless." Sounds like a possible slogan for the 2012 election.

(Editor's Note:) The Obama Administration, the NAACP, and the far left media treats every criticism of Obama's ineptness, his arrogance and his seemingly wanton destruction of the US economy and his mediocre performance in the international political arena as a form of racism.

The criticisms of Obama by the right are in no way based on the color of his skin but on his total lack of sound political judgment, and on the fact that Obama receives counsel from George Soros—whose interests are not our interests. The collapse of the economy of the United States benefits the social progressives who believe world government will rise from the ashes of the free enterprise system.

mary@*************.com—Jan. 23, 2012—On Wednesday, Dr. Oz had a show on the fastest growing thyroid cancer. It was a very interesting program and he mentioned that the increase could possibly be related to the use of dental x-rays and mammograms. He demonstrated that on the apron the dentist puts on you for dental xrays there is a little flap that can be lifted up and wrapped around your neck. Many dentists don't bother to use it. Also, there is something called a "thyroid guard"for use during mammograms. By coincidence, I had my yearly mammogram yesterday. I felt a little silly, but I asked about the guard, and sure enough, the technician had one in a drawer. I asked why it wasn't routinely used. Answer: "I don't know. You have to ask for it. Well, if I hadn't seen the show, how would I have known to ask? We need to pass this on t uughs is, oe al our female friends. Husbands: tell your wives.

davis47@*************.com—Dec .9, 2011—Corzine: "I don't know where the money is. Spoken like a real Democrat. Democrats don't know where the money went, but insist that the public should still trust that they are the ones with the heart to borrow and spend endlessly for the publc benefit—unlike scroogie Republicans who still possess this annoying vestigal awareness of how "in the outside the Beltway Fantasy Island, real world, checkbooks, business budgets, and family budgets really work. My guess is that after spending years as a US Senator, and New Jersey Governor, Corzine may simply have had a hard time switching channels from the "What, Me Worry?—It's not my money" mentality. [Like all good social progressives, Corzine, like now deceased famous leftwing Democratic Senator Claude "Red" Pepper)—"Come and get your share. There's plenty more where this (money) came from."

Jon Corzine, the former chief of failed MF Global, apologized to customers of the firm and said in testimony prepared for a House hearing Thursday that he did not know where missing money was located.

ed.werner@*************.net—Dec. 2, 2011—Socialism and it's high taxes—coming to the United States? This is just another reason why we don't want to follow Europe—Ed. Interesting, huh? VAT is a "value-added tax" just so you understand the terminology. In other words, it's just a plain old sales tax.

Since the United States of America is electing leaders who are Socialists, and are allowing them to take us down the fast track to outright Socialism, it would be worth your while to see what other citizens living under Socialism pay in taxes. Yes, they get :free healthcare, but its the worst healthcare in the world.

Get ready. Unless you get involved and "elect differently" more than half of your day's pay will go to "the government." Yes—work until noon every day to pay for Socialist programs. Now that's freedom, right?

Here are the current tax rates in Europe. (Editor's note: Please remember, Europe is literally bankrupt. It was recently reported that Lloyds of London, Europe's largest insurance carrier, just made the decision to move all of its cash assets out of Europe's banks over the fear that the banks in Europe are going to crash in Europe's latest debt crisis. At the same time, England's Parliament is preparing the legislation to withdraw from the European Union. So, expect new tax hikes all over Europe. In the meantime.)

If you've started to wonder what the real costs of socialism are going to be—once the full program in these United States hits your wallet, take a look at the table (above). As you digest these mind-boggling figures, keep in mind that in spite of these astronomical tax rates, these countries are still not financing their social welfare programs exclusively from tax revenues. They are deeply mired in public debt of gargantuan proportions. Greece has reached a point where its debt is in imminent danger of defaulting. That is the reasons the European Union has intervened to bail them out. If you're following the financial news, you know Spain and Portugal are right behind Greece.

The United States is now headed right down the same path. The VAT tax in the table is the national sales tax that Europeans pay. Stay tuned because that is exactly what you can expect to see the Administration proposing after the fall elections (2012). The initial percentage in the United States isn't going to be anywhere near the outrageous numbers you now see in Europe. Guess what? The current outrageous numbers in Europe didn't start out as as outrageous, either. They started out as minuscule— right around 1%-2%—where they will start out in the United States.

(Editor's Footnote: When Congress debated the 16th Amendment in 1908-09, the same discussion came up—with the same fear expressed by several Congressmen and Senators that creating a right to levy a tax on incomes without including a ceiling on the amount that could be levied was too dangerous. The leadership scoffed at their "fear," and pointed out that if future legislators tried to raise the tax over 1% to 2%, they would be voted out of office. We know today that is not the case. Give a social progressive the legal right to tax you without limit and he will steal every penny you possess—and expect you to borrow on your good name to make sure your "less fortunate neighbors" have as many material things as you.)

jezrell@*************.com—Nov. 3, 2011—(Got this in my mail this morning) While hiking along the border this morning, I saw a Muslim extremist fall into the Rio Grande River. He was struggling to stay afloat because of all the guns and bombs he was carrying. Along with him was a Mexican who was also struggling to stay afloat because of the large backpack full of drugs that was strapped to his back. If they didn't get help, they'd surely drown! Being a responsible, law-abiding Texan, wanting to help those in distress, I informed the El Paso County Sheriff's Office and Homeland Security. Well, it's now 4 pm. Both have drowned, and neither authority responded to my plea for help. I'm starting to think I wasted two stamps.

morningstar36@*************.com—Oct. 24, 2011—Oh, yeah...anti-semitism and/or political correctness is alive and well in the United States and around the sick world. Please note that Nivea company has removed Israel from the list of countries in the Mideast, and wrote instead: "Palestinian Terrorities." Dear friends, please remove Nivea from our shopping list. Pass this on to everyone you think may purchase Nivea Products.

(Editor's Note:) Nivea is a global skin care company owned by Beiersdorf, a German cosmetic company headquartered in Hamburg, Germany. BDF makes products for both men and women. While Beiersdorf is a German company, its US corporate headquarters is located in Wilton, Connecticut. BDF's primary production center is located in Norwalk, Connecticut. The company's distribution center is located in Cincinnati, Ohio. It's a transnational corporation which posted sales last year of €6.194 billion. The brand names under the BDF umbrella are: 8X4, Atrix, Aquaphor, Basis, Duo, Elastoplast, Eucerin, Florena, Hansaplast, Juvena, Labello (Liposan), La Prarie, Marlies Moller, Nivea, SBT (Skin Biology Therapy), and Slek. Beiersdorf is controlled by Tchibo Holding AG (a coffee conglomerate) which owns 50.49% of BDF. Tchibo is held by members of the Herz family which invests through Maxingvest AG, the Herz family investment vehicle.

morningstar36@*************.com—Sept. 30, 2011—Subject: Group Names. Finally an explanation. The English language has some wonderfully anthropomorphic collective nouns for various groups of animals. We are familiar with a herd of cows, a flock of chickens, a school of fish and a gaggle of geese. Less widely known is a pride of lions, a murder of crows, an exaltation of doves and, presumably because they look so wise, a parliament of owls. Now consider a group of baboons. They are the loudest, most dangerous, most obnoxious, most viciously aggressive and least intelligent of all primates. What is the proper collective noun for a group of baboons? Believe it or not—a Congress. I guess that pretty much explains the things that come out of Washington.

rick_beckrich@*******.com—Sept. 19. 2011—Senior Citizens are constantly being criticized for every conceivable deficiency of the modern world, real or imaginary. We know we take responsibility for all we have done and do not blame others. However, upon reflection, we would like to point out that it was NOT senior citizens who took:

And, we certainly are NOT the ones who eliminated patience and tolerance from personal relationships and interaction with others. And we do understand the meaning of patriotism, and remember those who fought and died for our country. Just as the seniors with years in their eyes and pride in their hearts as they stand at attention with their hands over their hearts. Yes, I'm a Senior Citizen. I'm the life of the party—even if it lasts until 8 p.m. I'm awake many hours before body allows me to get up. And, I'm smiling all the time because I can't hear a thing you are saying. Yes, I'm a Senior Citizen, and I think I'm having the time of my life.

Morningstar36@******.com—Sept. 3 , 2011—From now through November, 2012, this should be required weekly, or at least monthly, reading—by all who vote. Did you notice who Obama threatened when he wasn't getting his way on raising the debt ceiling? He threatened to NOT PAY: social security for retirees, military retirees, social security disability and federal retirees. He did NOT threaten to stop payments to illegal aliens. He did NOT threaten to take frivolous benefits such as Internet access away from violent prison inmates. He did NOT offer to fire some of the thousands of unnecessary federal employees that he hired. He did NOT offer to cut down on his or his wife's frivolous gallivanting at the expense of the taxpayers. He did NOT threaten to stop paying Senators or Representatives or their staffs. He did NOT threaten to take benefits away from welfare recipients. He did NOT threaten the Food Stamp Program. He did NOT threaten to cut back on anything that involves his core voters. Why are we allowing this person to destroy this wonderful country with his greed and his lies? His type of CHANGE is killing our country. He needs to be stopped. And only our votes for someone else CAN STOP HIM. Don't forget his socialist tactics when it's time to vote. Vote NO for Obama in 2012—The End of An Error. — Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote—Benjamin Franklin.

ed.werner@******.com—Aug. 20, 2011—Note the "plan" in the lower left corner! This cartoon was in the Chicago Tribune. Remember the adage: "Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it." Milton Friedman once said, "If you put the government in charge of the Sahara Desert, in five years there'd be a shortage of sand." This (cartoon) has been around before. But you still hear some people question when it is said that now is much like the 1930s. Take a good look at this 1934 cartoon and tell me what's different. (Editor's Note: Once again my cyberfriend Ed Werner has found a scary warning from the past that we need to pay serious attention to, although as you watch what's happening in socialist Europe, you know it's pretty much too late.

I wonder how many people have seen this apocalyptic warning from 1934 over the last 77 years, snickered at it and dismissed the ominous truth of the message as a joke. When communism "died" in the Reagan Years, cartoons like this were relegated to the old newsprint dumpsters because, the mainstream communist media told us, they were no longer relevant—no longer politically correct. Only, communism did not die. In fact, the Soviet Union, which is poised today to "repossess" its captive States, is still the Soviet Union in the heart of the Kremlin. Today's Soviet communists are everywhere. In many of the central European governments, in England, France, Germany, the Netherlands; in Iran, Iraq, Egypt, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Canada, South America and, yes, in the United States. Close to one third of the Congressmen and Senators in Washington, DC are communists—including most of the Congressional Black Caucus. Only you call them Environmentalists or Progressives. If you follow my website beyond a cursory glance every now and then, you know that I call them "watermelons" because they are environmentally green on the outside and communist red on the inside. (While some communists do not pose as environmentalists, and some environmentalists are not communists, communism as a whole has been hiding in the watermelon patch since it went underground during the Reagan-Bush-41 years.)

How can you identity the watermelons? The best clue is look at this cartoon and compare it to how the members of Congress spend your money today. When they spend like this 1934 cartoon— or they spend like they are still FDR New Deal Democrats, or they spend like Lyndon Johnson's Great Society Democrats who created the generational welfare system to control the votes of the welfare class, or they spend the money you no longer possess because Bill and Hillary Clinton sent all of our factories and all of your jobs to the third world; or they spend like Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi [D-CA] and Harry Reid [D-NV] who believe that even though you no longer have a job, a retirement savings account, or the assurances that your children and grandchildren will find a job in America you need to dig alittle deeper because giving is good for the green-on-the-outside, red-on-the-inside soul—you can bet they're communists...even when they tell you its politically incorrect to call them that as they hem-and-haw about what they really are.

The bankers who "bought" Congress and bribed a majority of the State legislators between 1909 and 1913 to orchestrate the 16th and 17th Amendments, committed a fraud on the American people. As the privately-owned Federal Reserve System was foisted on the American people on Dec. 23, 1913, a Christmas present from the 63rd Congress which, like the 62nd Congress were the two most corrupt Congresses in the history of the United States because they, collectively, killed the American Republic with the illegal ratification and certification of the 17th Amendment. That act removed the States from the equation of national governance. The power of the States was arbitrarily surrendered to the federal bureaucracy since the Senate no longer took their orders from the States. The separation of power was reduced by a factor of 48.

On the eve of the enactment of the Federal Reserve Act, Henry Ford, founder of the Ford Motor Company said: "It is well enough that [the] people of [this] nation do not understand our banking and monetary system. For if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning." If Ford was still alive today, watching the communist theft of what is left of the wealth of America, he would be screaming from the rooftop: "It's your money, and money that rightly belongs to your parents, grandparents, children and grandchildren which they have stolen and are still stealing. What is wrong with you? Where's your patriotic pride and national spirit? Put down the TV remote control and march on Washington! There's a whole parcel of politicians, lobbyists, industrialists, bankers, businessmen and federal judges who need to be in prison. Don't sit around waiting for someone else to do it because you're busy watching major league baseball or pre-season football."

susyb @******.com—July 29, 2011—Such is exactly what the Blount County TN Commission attempted to pull over on our citizens. They planned to pass an ordinance requiring a Permit for an individual or group to protest an issue. Of course, there would likely eventually be a FEE involved. They wanted a notice so that they could decide if they would grant such permission, and so they could have adequate law enforcement on hand to deal with any unruly protesters.

I wrote ALL of the Commissioners and told them what they were proposing was unconstitutional. It is a violation of our Right of Freedom of Speech and the Right to Redress. We don't always know long enough in advance what these so called "public Servants" are going to do to us next, in order to have the necessary time to go through a permit process for approval.

At any rate, they backed off of it for now. Keep up the good work for alerting America regarding such egregious abuses of power.

May we all be blessed with wisdom and Holy Spirit discernment of the only true and Living Almighty GOD of the Holy Bible as we face the challenges of coming days. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, my Lord. AMEN.

Editor's Note: When citizens, who are no longer taught about their Constitution in America's schools, see their city or county commissions enact ordinances, they assume those ordinances are within the framework of law. Unless those who know the law object, they grit their teeth and tolerate the intrusions to their constitutional rights.

ddlk22 @******.com—June 26, 2011—Warning: Beware of Terrorist Groups Infiltating Churches. Latest news reports are that five terrorist cell groups have been operating in many of our churches. They have been identified as Bin Sleepin, Bin Arguin, Bin Fightin, Bin Complainin and Bin Missin. Their leader, Lucifer Bin Workin, trained these groups to destroy the Body of Christ. The plan is to come into the church disguised as Christians and to work within the church to discourage, disrupt and destroy. However, there have been reports of a sixth group. It is a tiny cell known by the name Bin Prayin. It is actually the most effective counter terrorism force in the church. Unlike the terrorist cell groups, the Bin Prayin group does not blend in with whatever and whomever disruptive faction that comes along. Bin Prayin does what it needs to do to uplift and encourage the Body of Christ. We have noticed the Bin Prayin cell group has different characteristics than the others. You can spot them if you've Bin Lookin and Bin Goin.

igniting@******.com—June 12, 2011—Damn good article. You went to the root of the problem which is what always seems to be missing. We all see the symptoms fairly easily but are more often than not unable to diagnose the cause. Hence there is never a cure. Until we learn to look deep into the issue, we will just keep putting bandaids on a massive hemorrhage. We have now lost so much blood that there is little hope left except as always, with God. (The article? Dept. of Education S.W.A.T. Team Breaks Down Door)

dr.doo46 @******.com—May 25, 2011—Mr. Ryter: you sure hit the nail on the head. I totally enjoyed the article. I'll definitely pass it to all. I'd even send it via snail mail to every news outlet in the country...and also pass printed copies to anyone who would listen. Hopefully someone will someday wake up. But seeing s how we don't have the government our country's founders began, it is almost too late. Our country isn't the America they wanted for their themselves and future generations. We are now run by the United States of America Corporation for PROFIT. The New World Order is coming quickly. When I was in my "first stage of kid," I never thought it would be like this. Now, I'm in my "third stage of kid," 65, I'm very distraught over what I see. The regressive progressives, the ecowackos as you called them, or environmentalist wackos as others call them, have become so strong its a shame. Many are moving out of this country...Thanks again for the great article. You are one of my favorite writers.

mountain.storage @******.com—May 22, 2011—I have no idea if this actually works, but it was interesting reading and, of course, easy enough to try it next time you get burned.

Editor's Note: Because of the disclaimer from the sender, I decided to Google this before using the material. Both Snopes and Urban Legends claims the story is FALSE. Both are wrong. Their assertions are based on the fact that both the Mayo Clinic and the American Red Cross advise burn victims to treat minor (first or second degree burns) by immersing them in cool water, then covering the burn with a loose, gauze bandage. If Snopes and Urban Legends had done their due diligence they would have realized that covering minor burns with common wheat flour was, in fact, the common protocol for treating burns for about one hundreds-fifty years. The treatment is found in Practical Medicine & Surgery (1848), The American Agriculturist (1854), The Medical & Surgical Reporter (1867), The International Encyclopedia of Surgery (1888) and again in the Manual of Surgical Treatment (1899). If the treatment worked for 100 years—and prevents the skin from blistering, why would anyone want to dowse a burn with cold water and wrap it in gauze?

The email said: Impressive! Why did we never hear of this before? I've always just run it under the cold water tap. A woman's experience with burns...Some time ago I was cooking some corn and stuck my fork in the boiling water to see if the corn was ready. I missed (the corn) and my hand went into the boiling water. A friend of mine, who was a Vietnam vet, came into the house just as I was screaming, and asked me if I had some plain old flour. I pulled out a bag and he stuck my hand in it. He told me to keep my hand in the flour for 10 minutes, which I did. He said that in Vietnam there was a guy on fire, and in their panic to put out the fire, they threw a bag of flour all over him to put the fire out. Well, it not only put the fire out, he never even had a blister. Long story short, I put my hand in the bag of flour for 10 minutes, pulled it out and did not even have a red mark or a blister—and absolutely no pain. Now I keep a bag of flour in the fridge and every time I burn myself. Cold flour feels even better than room temperature flour. I use the flour and have never ONCE had even a red spot/burn mark or blister. I even burnt my tongue once, put the flour on it for about 10 minutes. The pain was gone and no burn.

Editor's Note: While I don't for a minute believe the email happened as described, the burn cure is real. For over 100 years it was the treatment of record for burns. The email was dressing to sell a remedy used for over 100 years before modern science decided that burns needed to be treated by a physician and not the burn victim.

FS SANCHEZ @******.com—Feb. 25, 2011—YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED—This morning a coalition of Muslim leaders warned the United States that if military action against Muslim countries continues, they intend to cut off America's supply of 7-Eleven, Motel 6 and Subway managers. If this action does not yield sufficient results, cab drivers will be next, followed by Dell, AT&T and AOL customer service reps. Finally, if all else fails, they have threatened not to send us any more presidents, either. It's gonna get ugly, people. You have been warned!

molehill@******.com—Dec. 13, 2010—The credit for this quote is attributed to an unidentified Czech citizen. Whether it "is or is not" is not as important as the truth in what was said by whomever said it.—Some people have the vocabulary to sum up things in a way you can understand them. This quote came from the Czech Republic. Someone over there has figured it out. We have a lot of work to do.

"The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president."

Editor's Note: First, as the author of this website, I have reported several times over the last two years, it appears the American people did not elect the "prince of fools." I reported this for the first time in a 2¢ Worth article on Nov. 28, 2009. According to a FEC report posted on the White House website on that date, there were 96,992,000 actual votes cast by registered voters who voted. However, when you did a "hand count" to compute the total votes received by all of the candidates running in 2008, you discover an unexplained anomaly: there were 132,618,580 ballots in the ballot boxes across the United States. Regardless how they got there, when you do the simple math, there were 35,626,580 more votes counted than cast. Now the left can claim they were John McCain votes, but the reality is, no one would steal votes for McCain since no one on either side wanted him. But we know ACORN got caught in several States paying people to cast multiple absentee ballots for Obama (allegations they deny). Thus, based on allegations of vote fraud made against Obama, and naming ACORN, by the Clinton Campaign, it is logical to attribute the ballot "overages" to the Left. So, subtracting the 35,626,580 votes from the 69,456,897 votes counted for Obama, we can conclude that the "prince of fools" only received about 33,830,317 legitimate votes. Since the number of social progressives in the United States total 31,820,000, that's about right.

Social progressives, who controlled both the House and Senate in 1971, proposed lowering the voting age to 18. Their argument was that if you were old enough to die for your country you should be old enough to vote for its leaders. Sounds laudable. They conceived the 26th Amendment resolution on March 23, 1971. Short pregnancy. It cleared the States in 100 days and was ratified on July 1, 1971.

In reality, the social progressives, who had controlled America's schools since the New Deal, needed the newly-brainwashed generation casting votes in 1972 to dump Richard Nixon and end the war in Vietnam. Minds fertilized by the seeds of socialism, ripening in the antiwar years—have now spawned three generations of fools.

To restore integrity to the voting process the People need to do three things. First, they need to not only repeal the 26th Amendment, they need to consider raising the voting age to 25 or 30. People who can name every pop culture icon or sports figure in the United States but can't tell you the name of the mayor of their town or city should not be voting for anything more significant than the new American Idol star, or the People's Choice Award.

Second, we need to repeal the Motor Voter Act (The National Voter Registration Act) which was enacted by the Democratically-controlled Clinton Congress in 1994 specifically to allow vote fraud through registering voters and having them cast absentee ballots at the same time they registered since those votes are neither checked nor challenged.

And, third, we need to enact a law with serious teeth that makes vote theft a first class felony punishable by a mandatory 10-year prison sentence per fraudulent vote cast, with sentences served consecutively. The law must also mandate that the prosecutor cannot mitigate the offense and charge a vote thief with one fraudulent vote when that individual cast 60 or more fraudulent votes. Once imprisoned, the malefactor must be required to serve every single day of his or her sentence with no time off for good behavior. Vote theft must be viewed as one of the most serious crimes in America because those who commit this crime are stealing our right to an honest election.

nancybp****@******.com—Dec. 1, 2010—Many years ago during a stressful time in my life, I began consuming large amounts of diet sodas. I developed a set of "mysterious" and very serious symptoms—temporary paralysis, aphasia, extreme photosensitivity and chronic weakness. {Perhaps there is a connection here with some cases of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.) "Complicated Migraine" was the final diagnosis after ruling out multiple sclerosis. A few months later while seeking alternative treatment to routine pharmaceuticals, a chiropractor mentioned that his sister-in-law had similar symptoms and his wife told her to stop drinking so much diet Coke. Bingo—that was my answer. I stopped drinking the soda and slowly got better. A few months later I tried drinking a little [diet soda] and immediately experienced weakness in my legs and arms. Being stubborn, I repeated this experiment a few more times—each time with the same results. But no more, and now I am well.

Interestingly, I've shared my experience over the years with a few people who suffered from severe headaches and/or some other neurological symptoms. Most of them don't want to give up their diet sodas. Well, I guess they're stubborn, too. Hopefully, someday they will come around.

I'm a maternity nurse—done this for many years. All newborns are routinely tested 24 hours after their first feed for PKU. Their blood is sent to the State lab and positive results reported to their pediatricians. I believe this is practiced in all 50 States (or 57—sorry, couldn't resist that!) Many doctors and midwives still recommend the use of of aspartame for pregnant women with diabetes. What does this mean for the babies who have PKU? Very good article—thank you.

mountain_storage@******.com—Oct. 3, 2010—Quote of the day: Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater. If you give her sperm, she will give you a baby. If you give her a house, she'll give you a home. If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal. If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart. She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her. So, if you give her any crap, be ready to receive a ton of sh*t.

itmaiden@******.com—Sept. 20, 2010—I received this email today regarding Today's New International Version [TNIV] by Zondervan Press (publisher) and a video (not attached to email but found on YouTube) with a Robert Bell (who pastors a church named Mars Hills in Grand Rapids, Michigan which he calls "the epicenter of [social] progressive culture") endorsing TNIV, and using it solely in his (Laodicean) church where there are 3 services that seat 4,000 people each, who [are handed] the TNIV to use in his service. The video was disturbing.

Take a look at this link from bibleresearchers.com that talks about some of the changes found in the TNIV.

A joint statement, signed by 110 ministry leaders and issued on May 28, 2002, refuted the TNIV. Their concern was that the TNIV, riding on the reputation of the NIV, may vie for a place as the church's commonly accepted Bible. The group said "...we believe that any commonly accepted Bible ...should be more faithful to the language of the original." (Editor's Note: Click on this link to see some of the changes made in the TNIV.) The harbingers of Laodicean political correctness need to heed the words of Jesus Christ through His scribe, the beloved Apostle John in Rev. 22:18-19. The words in these two verses apply equally to the editors of all gender-neutral "bibles" and to those who preach a perverted gospel from their pages. Those who have found societal harmony in the social church need to understand they have a scapegoat for a pastor who is leading his flock of sheep to the slaughter.

Forwarded by JezRell@******.com—Sept. 4, 2010—(Editor's Note: In March, 2009 Barack Hussein Obama, who wanted to retard enlistments in the military, proposed that since servicemen volunteer to serve in America's all-volunteer army they should be willing to pay for their own war injuries since they know the risk when they join.) Veterans' Affairs Secretary Gen. Eric Shinseki confirmed on Tues., March 19, 2009 that the Obama Administration was considering a radical plan to force servicemen to purchase private insurance to cover the likelihood of their being shot or maimed by a roadside bomb. The Democrats must be held accountable for the stupidity of the man in the White House that they protect. Remember the statement below, and the social progressives in the House and Senate who protect him on Nov. 2. Pass this around to all of your friends until election day.) This has to be the most outrageous statement ever made by a public official...and this guy is our Commander-in-Chief...Here is his response when he (was forced to) back off from his decision to require the military pay for their war injuries...Obama admitted that he was puzzled by the magnitude of the opposition to his proposal. "Look, it's an all volunteer force," Obama complained. "Nobody made these guys go to war. They had to have known and accepted the risks. Now they whine about bearing the costs of their choice? It doesn't compute...I thought these were people who were proud to sacrifice for their country. I wasn't asking for blood, just money. With the country facing the worst financial crisis in its history, I'd have thought the patriotic thing to do would be to try to help reduce the nation's deficit. I guess I underestimated the selfishness of some of my fellow Americans." (Editor's Note: This is one sick anti-American Marxist dude. Surprisingly, it was a social progressive Senator, Patty Murray [D-WA] who told Obama that the legislation he wanted to force GIs to insure themselves would be "dead on arrival" should Obama push his initiative.)

EdithMichael@******.com—Aug. 28, 2010—From the London Daily Telegraph Editor on Foreign Relations, Alex Singleton. Quote: "Let me be clear: I'm not normally in favour of boycotts, and I love the American people. I holiday in their country regularly, and hate the tedious snobby sneers against the United States. But the American people chose to elect an idiot who seems hell bent on insulting their allies, and something must be done to to stop Obama's reckless foreign policy before he 'does the dirty' on his allies on every issue." One of the most poorly kept secrets in Washington is (...) Obama's animosity towards Great Britain, presumably because of what he regards as its sins while ruling Kenya (1895-1963).

One of Barack Obama's first acts as president was to return to Britain a bust of Winston Churchill that had graced the Oval Office since 9/11. He followed this up by denying Prime Minister Gordon Brown, on his first State visit, the usual joint press conference with flags. (Obama) was "too tired" to grant the leader of America's closest ally a proper welcome, his aides told British journalists...The administration went beyond snubs and slights when Secretary of State Hillary Clinton endorsed the demand of Argentine President Cristina Kirchner, a Hugo Chavez ally, for mediation of Argentina's specious claim to the Falkland Islands, a British dependency since 1833...In 1982, an earlier Argentine dictator tried to seize the Falklands by force. The British—with strong support from President Ronald Reagan—expelled them. "It's truly shocking that Barack Obama has decided to disregard our shared history," wrote Telegraph columnist Toby Young. "Does Britain's friendship really mean so little to him?" One could ask, does the friendship of anyone in the entire world mean anything to him?...For the first time in a long time the (occupant of the White House) is actually distrusted by its allies and not in the least feared by its adversaries. Nor is Mr. Obama now respected by the majority of Americans.

elad21@******.com—Aug. 20, 2010—This is incredible. Reported in The Hill: Democrats Vote Down 5 Percent Rule. In a bid to stem taxpayer losses for bad loans guaranteed by federal housing agencies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, Senator Bob Corker [R-TN] proposed that borrowers be required to make a 5% down payment in order to qualify. His proposal was rejected 57-42 on a party-line vote because, as Senator Chris Dodd [D-CT] explained, "...passage of such a requirement would restrict home ownership to only those who can afford it."

NOTE FROM SITE EDITOR: During the early-1990s, community activist and Illinois State Senator Barack Hussein Obama and the US Congressional Black Caucus spiked the Great American Dream by using the racist tactics employed by civil rights activist Jesse Jackson to force community banks to finance mortgages at higher interest rates for minorities with histories of not paying their debts. Adding economic injury to the Obama advocacy, the Clinton Administration pushed to amend the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 (Public Law 95-128, Title VIII, 91 Stat 1147, 12 USC § 2901) to outlaw the practice of "redlining" minority applicants with poor payment histories. Banks that did would face civil and possibly criminal penalties for rejecting minority home mortgage applicants. It is important for voters to understand that the subprime mortgage collapse that Bush-43 tried to solve with the $800 million subprime mortgage bailout bill was not caused by Bush, but by then State Senator Barack Obama and the Congressional Black Caucus. Had the money allocated by the Bush -43 subprime bailout legislation been used by the Federal Reserve as it was supposed to have been used—by the Resolution Trust Company to buy up foreclosed mortgages and get them out of the banks' inventories and free up money to continue loaning to consumer—there would have been no financial crisis and the need for $1.7 trillion in new debt that will cost the children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren of the nation's current taxpayers $71 trillion in compound interest to repay to the private bankers at the Federal Reserve over the next 50 to 100 years. The crisis was needed to conceal what the Fed bankers were actually doing—raiding the wealth of the American working class not to bail out banks in the United States, but to bail out the cash-strapped banks in the emerging nations where America's jobs have been going since 1994 and where the US mega banks were loaning your deposits. If the banks in the emerging countries collapsed, it would have created a global monetary collapse, toppling the economies of every nation on Earth except those in the Muslim world, China and the former Soviet Union.

rick_beck****l@******.com—Aug. 17, 2010—Check this out. I...was in Lowes the other day. I was looking at the hose attachments. They were all made in China. The next day I was in Ace Hardware. Just for the heck of it, I checked the hose attachments there. They were made in the USA. Start looking. In our current economic situation, every little thing we buy or do affects someone else—even their job. My grandson like Hershey candy (which used to be made in Hershey, Pennsylvania). I noticed, though, that it's marked "made in Mexico" now. I don't buy it anymore. My favorite toothpaste, Colgate, is made in Mexico. Now, I've switched to Crest. This past weekend I was Kroger. I needed 60W light bulbs and Bounce dryer sheets. I was in the light bulb aisle, and right next to the GE light bulbs I normally buy was an off-brand light bulb labeled "Everyday Value." I picked up both types of bulbs and compared the stats. They were the same except for the price. The GE bulbs were more expensive than the Everyday Value brand. But the thing that surprised me the most was the fact that the GE brand was made in Mexico and the Everyday Value brand was made in—get ready for this—the United States, at a company in Cleveland, Ohio. So throw out the myth that you can't find products you use every day that were made right here.

So, on to the next aisle—Bounce Dryer Sheets. Yep. You guessed it. Bounce cost more money than the private label brand and it is made in Canada. The Everyday Value brand was less money and it was made in the USA. I did laundry yesterday and the dryer sheets performed just like the Bounce Free I have been using for years. And the private label sheets were almost half the price.

My challenge to you is to start reading the labels when you shop for everyday things and see what you can find that is made in the USA. The job you save may be your own...or, you neighbor's. Let's get with the program! Stop buying from overseas companies! Help our fellow Americans keep their jobs—and create more jobs here in the United States. I passed this one...will you?

pqi@******.net—May 3, 2010—Bread Over Freedom? The erosion of the family, the silencing of the church, the disintegration of morality—America is suffering a cultural crisis, but it is not new. These trends also shaped Nazi Germany. Years ago, a cartoon appeared in a Russian newspaper picturing a fork in a road. One path was labeled "freedom," the other path was labeled "sausage." As we might guess, the path to freedom had few takers. The path to sausage was crowded with footprints. When given a choice, people will choose bread and sausage over the free market and individual liberties. The promise of bread gets votes, even if the bread is at the expense of freedom. (Editor's Note: In any society where the governed expect the government to provide them with sustenance, the subjects of the realm will always take sausage over freedom.)

rick_beckrich@******.com—Mar. 8, 2010—The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than the other possibility—German. As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling has some room for improvement, and has accepted a 5-year phase-in plan that would become known as "Euro-English."

In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c." Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k." This should klear up knofusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter. There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f." This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.

In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible. Governments will encourage the removal of double letters wihich have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent "e" in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.

etalbott@******.net—Nov. 7, 2009—Your latest article on the euthanasia plans imbedded in the so-called health care bill is outstanding. Not only have you done your research, but you provide insights and discernment which most articles on the subject are missing. I continue to read each article you post with great interest and forward to my list and save them for future reference. Heaven knows the current health care industry suffers multiple deficiencies in all areas. Now the government wishes to make the failure total, a minus quantity in our lives. This is why I never go to hospitals, clinics or doctors. I use natural supplements, the best diet I can acquire in my circumstances and pray for health. Thanks for writing such a great article that I can share with my list.

etalbott@******.net—I want to let you know that I went to your website, read your testimony, and was blown away. It was marvelous. I have some pretty awesome experiences with that same Jewish Rabbi, Yeshua (Jesus), and I am always thrilled to hear or read something as powerful as your testimony. Thank you for all the great articles you post on NWV. Blessings, Erlene Talbott. (Note: if you want more understanding of the Jewishness of the Holy Bible, or if you simply want to visit a very unique website, you need to spend a little time here: http://www.navigatingthroughprophecy.com.)

mmahoney@60plus.org (From Jim Martin: 60 Plus Association)—SUGGESTION FOR HEALTHCARE DEBATE: (...) OBAMA SHOULD FOLLOW THE ADVISE OF CANDIDATE OBAMA. Presidential candidate Barack Obama repeatedly stated on the campaign trail that any overhaul of healthcare should be negiotiated publicly and televised for all to see. In his stump speech he would say it should be televised with a big table and seats filled with doctors, nurses, insurers, and other interested parties. Then he would joke...he would get the biggest chair. Not behind closed doors, candidate Obama said, but he would bring all parties together and broadcast those negotiations on CSPAN. We suggest the President keep his pledge.

Mr. Obama, deep six this unread, misunderstood piece of gobbledegook that scares seniors, and start over. Send a message that you are going to live up to (your) oft-repeated campaign promise.

Once again, you have outdone yourself and said it just like it is. You have boldly taken out all of the kinks and exposed the hidden things that mess us up. I am so proud of you and hold you in high esteem that you tackle the hard road and are consistently speaking the TRUTH and exposing the hidden treachery lurking behind the media face.

As usual, we only get the whole story from you—and what a story it is! I met Tom Tancredo last year in D.C. (FAIR meeting), and was immediately impressed by his refreshingly honest attitude on all political matters. Over time I have come to realize that my respect for this man is not only due to his position on illegal immigration, but more so because he is one of the very, very few in Congress who consistently stands up for our Constitution, established laws, and the American people versus "the Party," big business donors, or other sources that ensure their self-serving need for power (remaining in office). So happy to see that my favorite writer endorses my favorite candidate!
