What they fail to understand is that a government big enough to control almost every aspect of life from individual health care to the content of radio programs will eventually get around to regulating out their sacred first amendment free speech.

I am indeed blessed. These are a few things for which I am thankful.<br />
<br />
I am thankful that my mother and father met and married even though they lived in a sparsely populated rural area around Montreal Canada.<br />
<br />
I am thankful that they chose to migrate to the United States to improve the standard of living for them and their children even though they left behind many close relatives and friends.<br />
<br />
I am thankful they decided to have one more child (me) after already having five during the worst depression in this country’s history. <br />
<br />
I am thankful I was born and raised in the greatest country in the world.<br />
<br />
I am thankful that my parents taught me to be honest, thrifty, hard working and to plan for the future.<br />
<br />
I am thankful they baptized and raised me in the Catholic faith and sent me to a Catholic grade school at their own expense.<br />
<br />
I am thankful there was an affordable college close by that I could afford without accumulating significant debt or over burdening my parents.<br />
<br />
I am thankful my circle of friends in college were mostly married military veterans on the GI bill who were hard working and dedicated to getting a good education and taught me how to study.<br />
<br />
I am thankful I met Nancy in a crowded drive-in restaurant and she later agreed to marry me even though we had so little time to date between my college and working evenings and weekends.<br />
<br />
I am thankful for our 3 healthy offspring and for Nancy who raised them very well with little help from me because I was absent so much between work, school and extensive business travel.<br />
<br />
I am thankful I lived and worked in a relatively free economy that rewarded hard work.<br />
<br />
I am thankful that none of our immediate family has had serious life threatening illnesses.<br />
<br />
I am thankful that all three of our children avoided the drugs, alcohol and other social corruptions of many of their peers and grew up sharing our values and are now married and have children of their own. <br />
<br />
I am thankful for our grandchildren who are healthy, happy and well adjusted.<br />
<br />
I am thankful we have not been adversely affected by a natural disaster even though we live in an active earthquake region.<br />
<br />

<br />
As I understand it the WPA allows the president to engage in military hostilities against a sovereign nation provided he reports to congress within 60 days so they can decide whether or not to declare war. (Only congress can declare war, not the president.) Recall George Bush obtained congressional authorization for military action in Afghanistan and Iraq.<br />
<br />
The 60 day WPA window is closing on the US Libyan hostilities. Barrack Obama is claiming the WPA does not apply because troops are not in harms way on the ground. By that logic, Japan did not engage in military hostilities when they attacked Pearl Harbor.John Beauregardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16923339453879187524noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4440658862809170237.post-10297349613487611572011-06-11T19:35:00.000-07:002011-06-11T19:35:35.949-07:00Weiner's Weiner<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-Ok6VxZflKxZmkAzfjSaFoHiVZqFIJ_6NJEtvY8-criP2Eqy7_WL5NUCFDMz-ZzTIuUP147ZsQbZXwAdloeB_jC_F5uDCM_Gld1ZAT9umO1aFKGjUr8Mir_JWmgw0ly_bBuuPxyjgsCA/s1600/weiner.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="243" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-Ok6VxZflKxZmkAzfjSaFoHiVZqFIJ_6NJEtvY8-criP2Eqy7_WL5NUCFDMz-ZzTIuUP147ZsQbZXwAdloeB_jC_F5uDCM_Gld1ZAT9umO1aFKGjUr8Mir_JWmgw0ly_bBuuPxyjgsCA/s320/weiner.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
The US is involved in three wars, many middle eastern countries are in chaos, many areas in the US have been stricken by natural disasters, our economy is in shambles, we have presidential primary elections just over the horizon yet the first story on all three national evening news programs is about a perverted New York Congressman. Americans are being ill served by the lame stream media in this country.<br />
<br />
That said, I am amazed that after lying to them over and over for more than a week, 53% of Weiner's constituents do not think he should resign according to a recent poll. To the best of my knowledge, every national politician, liberal or conservative, that had a sex scandal has either resigned or been elected out of office except Bill Clinton. This story, unfortunately, has not yet played out.John Beauregardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16923339453879187524noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4440658862809170237.post-9317585368773765312011-06-02T06:58:00.000-07:002011-06-02T06:58:32.788-07:00TV Executives Admit Liberal Agenda<a href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/tv-executives-admit-taped-interviews-193116">CLICK HERE</a><br />

<br />
Only 53% of wage earners pay all federal income taxes. 47% pay no federal income tax.<br />
<br />
So the left wing liberal politicians conclude the problem is that the 53% are under taxed!<br />
<br />
Really? Really? Really?<br />

Don't tax you,<br />
Don't tax me,<br />

But here is what they fail to explain.<br />
<br />
A CONSERVATIVE is pro choice when they are talking about school vouchers, union membership, light bulbs, gun ownership, health insurance, etc.<br />
<br />
A LIBERAL is pro life when they are talking about <u>convicted</u> murders, rapists and terrorists.<br />

Why?<br />
<br />
Here are the main differences between private vs public sector collective bargaining.<br />
<br />
1. Conflict of interest: Unlike private sector unions public sector unions wield power over their government counterparts. Government depends on the support of public union members to help their re-election. Public sector unions support government bosses with their votes, their money and election organizing.<br />
<br />
2. No skin in the game: Government negotiators are giving away other peoples money. They have little to lose personally by their give a ways. <br />
<br />
3. No accountability: Government negotiators have little/no accountability to the general public. The persons most negatively affected by their incompetence are the very young and the unborn that cannot vote.<br />
<br />
4. Motivation: While private sector negotiators are motivated to keep their company competitive to keep their jobs there is no similar motivation with government sector negotiators. <br />
<br />
With all these advantages public sector unions have the power to plunder state treasuries and bankrupt state and local governments.John Beauregardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16923339453879187524noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4440658862809170237.post-91879414856763348012011-02-19T19:28:00.000-08:002011-02-19T19:28:39.588-08:00Wisconsin Teacher ProtestWisconsin teachers are protesting state budget cuts needed to balance the state budget that reduce teacher salaries and benefits. The cut also affect many other department budgets and state employees. <u>After</u> implementation the average state employee wage and benefits would still be better than the average non-government employee that is paying their salaries. Some teachers are in Madison protesting rather than at work teaching their students. Those who lie by claiming they are sick should be disciplined or fired.<br />
<br />
With all the whining and temper tantrums you have to wonder if Wisconsin children are learning from the teachers or the teachers are learning from the children.

The topic of his sermon was love vs selfish greed. He told a joke to make his point.<br />
<br />
A 60 year old couple were walking down the beach when they found a magic bottle. When they opened the bottle a Genie came out and, as a reward for freeing him, offered each of them a free wish. After some thought the wife asked for a one year trip around the world for her and her husband.<br />
POOF<br />
She was given first class tickets and hotel reservations and $50,000 for meals.<br />
After much thought the husband asked for a wife 20 years younger than himself.<br />
POOF<br />
He became 80 years old.<br />

When a deranged individual shoots 19 people and kills at least 6 in Tucson, left wing liberals immediately sprang into action. First they tried to blame the tee party movement, Sarah Palin, talk radio hosts and Fox News accusing them of inciting violence while ignoring the hate speech of the left during the Bush administration. Then they seized on the (crisis) opportunity to advance liberal causes including gun control, radio content control and internet control. <br />
<br />
<br />
In my view most liberal causes are an affront to liberty rejected by the vast majority of Americans unless scared into submission by phony crises such as uninsured health care, man made global warming, financial meltdown or even the tragedy of a psychotic gunman.John Beauregardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16923339453879187524noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4440658862809170237.post-4369108157437164602011-01-08T19:40:00.000-08:002011-01-08T19:40:29.229-08:00Arizona Congresswoman ShotThis afternoon Arizona Democratic Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was shot in the head <br />

Except for the priest saying the Mass the entire service, including the choir, is conducted by young people of about high school age.The Mass was extremely lively and upbeat. As I closely observed the faces and actions of the multiracial congregation I became very encouraged with the future of our country. I was inspired by their devotion, spirit, enthusiasm and self reliance. <br />

I don't believe those kids will become dependent on bloated inefficient government for their livelihood or their health care. I don't believe they will tolerate having over 50% of their income confiscated by bloated, inefficient government for redistribution to greedy deadbeats. I don't believe they will vote for politicians that are ashamed of America and apologize for her perceived grievances. In summary, the future of America is bright with kids like those who I believe will reject the false promises of liberalism.John Beauregardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16923339453879187524noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4440658862809170237.post-23618215077980674152010-11-18T08:04:00.000-08:002010-11-18T08:04:38.321-08:00WAIVERSThe Obama administration has granted 111 waivers for Obamacare. About 30% of the waivers are to unions who supported Obamacare. Apparently those unions think Obamacare is good for the US as long as their members are exempt. In fairness, that is the same opinion as all three branches of the federal government (i.e. good for everybody except them). All three branches of the federal government and their staff are exempt from Obamacare. The ultimate test of whether a federal law is good or bad is whether the government exempts themselves. Think about it. Why is Obamacare good for you and your family but not for those who passed the law and not for some of it's supporters?John Beauregardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16923339453879187524noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4440658862809170237.post-61602712298057845322010-11-17T07:57:00.000-08:002010-11-17T07:57:48.399-08:00EARMARKSYesterday Sen Mitch McConnell came out against earmarks. Mark Levin, on his radio show, poo pooed the idea because earmarks are such a small item compared to the federal deficit. I disagree strongly with Levin. What he overlooks is that the true cost of earmarks is NOT only the dollar value of the earmarks but the horse trading that they enable. Many terrible and costly bills are passed by adding small earmarks so key senators would vote for them. A recent example is the Obamacare bill. I would like to see ALL earmarks outlawed.John Beauregardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16923339453879187524noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4440658862809170237.post-35276321024667401602010-11-05T15:28:00.000-07:002010-11-05T15:28:27.942-07:00Impartial & Non-Partisan; Really?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihz6DG-NL1LrBr3EAvxlkegduu-GS1NF8o8aWUtw_jl6k2M42Ll1V8BzMURIezfKEj6Nl1ib0A11C1Z1sdVJ3iuSc64QJeJ-w8T1LQN7kMgPaqjyemORo85pPq3BKjvtCjvep0gjBjSfU/s1600/Olbermann.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihz6DG-NL1LrBr3EAvxlkegduu-GS1NF8o8aWUtw_jl6k2M42Ll1V8BzMURIezfKEj6Nl1ib0A11C1Z1sdVJ3iuSc64QJeJ-w8T1LQN7kMgPaqjyemORo85pPq3BKjvtCjvep0gjBjSfU/s320/Olbermann.jpg" width="239" /></a></div><a href="http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2010/11/05/olbermann-donated-to-three-dems-in-apparent-violation-of-nbc-policy/"><span style="color: red; font-family: Courier New;"><strong>MSNBC Suspends Olbermann Over Political Donations to Dems...</strong></span></a><strong><span style="font-family: Courier New;"> </span></strong>John Beauregardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16923339453879187524noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4440658862809170237.post-73906897979067048672010-11-03T17:52:00.000-07:002010-11-03T17:52:44.592-07:00SANITY RESTORED<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWeVnzdCL2oVyRNuZ4Ql9WbbfY8PoCLqlLlKvsXwnaTxh7LIxU6rLIoyBANdqOkZ8gegfLIJd-e01b33_EOBqz1uf65rZEe6KurQHrapSFJMu88vSH-33FwKE9PzM03LhgMKhOZg8R9vo/s1600/Pelosi3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" nx="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWeVnzdCL2oVyRNuZ4Ql9WbbfY8PoCLqlLlKvsXwnaTxh7LIxU6rLIoyBANdqOkZ8gegfLIJd-e01b33_EOBqz1uf65rZEe6KurQHrapSFJMu88vSH-33FwKE9PzM03LhgMKhOZg8R9vo/s1600/Pelosi3.jpg" /></a></div><br />

On our first day there I read in the local newspaper, The Oklahoman, a story about a woman asleep in her own house with her two young children was awaken by a loud noise in her house. Thinking there was an earthquake she called her husband who works at Tinker AFB to confirm the quake. He told her there was no quake so she hung up and got her hand gun. She went to her living room where she found two intruders and shot them killing one and wounding the other. Shortly after the event the second intruder was found by following his blood trail. The local police declared the shooting justifiable under the <br />
<br />
(now get this) <br />
<br />
Oklahoma "<u>Make My Day</u>" law.<br />
<br />
This is a win/win for society. There is one less robber, potential rapist, potential murderer in the world plus a brave mother and her two young children are still living. <br />
I bet anything that you will never hear about this incident in any of the lame stream media. This story is contrary to their anti-gun agenda so they will commit a lie of omission to further their that agenda.John Beauregardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16923339453879187524noreply@blogger.com3
