    Kudos Mr. Voight, I’ve always backed your common-sense way of thinking and have always wished you well in your endeavors. I met you once at the Las Vegas Airport ever so briefly as I was a TSA agent that just had to encourage a greeting to you. Forgive me for not commenting upon your presentation in my first post. I was taken aback by the ignorant posts some here have chosen to plague us with. I’m so tired of babysitting and wish these people would grow up and do some research for once!

    Thank you for using your position to voice what is right, and for being a patriot!

    May the God of all creation envelop you, and bless you beyond measure.

    Sincerly,

    Artist in Las Vegas

    I respect Jon Voight’s comments. I have watched our congress and senate be more concerned about gay rights etc than the econonmy. It would seem to be that congress and senate with looming debt, loss of credit availability to pay for the over burdening national debt would have more deep concentration. Five years ago we were all worried about the surge of undocumented workers. Five years ago we could have given them amnesty, corrected the issue. Now we have undocumented issue and now we will also be giving them health care.

    It would also seem that all countries adopting socialist healthcare have in turn created a VAT of about 15%. Thing that really bothers me is most of the real healthcare costs come from emergency room accidents and such for uninsured. Yet our congress and senate with so much thought on thier bill fail to describe how the interaction with car insurance medical will work.

    Interesting that during the election the social security cap / tax would be affecting the upper income individuals > $250K . That range seems to drop quickly.

    Another person mentioned we have many individuals in prison etc not getting health care. Seems to me the people working and getting rapeds, killed, and robbed should be the priority of health care. I mean gee you have to pay for your health care if your not the criminal?

    I really think congress and senate should be focused more on the bigger economic picture that the Baseball steroids, gay rights, and other issues affecting smaller groups. I mean they are spending more time thinking of ways to spend and entitle folks then they are on how to pay for it. Eventually, with no body working, there will be no money to spend and what is point of the programs and policies.

    Seems to me if the health care is so great for America , the congress and senators would probably want to be part of it. Have you read the stuff? Oh it is not really written yet. But it will solve the problem don’t worry.

    Lastly, As a capitalist I tend to think that limiting the entitlement to those not trying to be productive and contribute should occur. Seriously, there are states where obese people are paid on disability. People keep talking that the poor blue collar workers should get some of the benefits of the rich. I hate to say this but the Blue Collar workers are the rich at rate we are going and are paying for those not wanting to work. This is why they are upset. The only wages going up are government workers! To me it is not fair to decreas wages of blue collars and increase taxes to pay for more government workers and entitlements.

    You may want to go out to linked in and Read Mr. Obama’s resume. Sometimes it is a good thing to learn how to handle the ability of spending in conjunction with the ability to earn the money. Something I believe most individuals learned by thier parents limiting the kids spending by say what they have to spend.

    An interesting trend I see is that the TEA (Taxed Enough Already ) folks seem to be growing. The really interesting fact is that the memberships from what I see is educated, working Americans in the low, middle, and upper class. I do not see as many of the other social classes joining. This similar trend appears to be in breeding also in that middle and upper classes seem to not have as many children. Bush was criticized for commenting that family values etc were important. He had this rediculous idea that children in families that take care of thier young and grow responsibility were perhaps a healthy thing. Kind of implying it is not so good to go out and breed when you are not capable of taking care of the children. But Obama is much more the pationate man by thinking all Americans should just contribute to help the children.

    The United States needs more influential individuals such as Mr. Jon Woight to express their political/social expression. It is frightening to be witnessing the erosion of the First Amendment. Which amendment is next? Simultaneously, our precious Constitution is being twisted more than a pretzel in order to suit the uber-liberal agenda. It is time that Americans take notice. Bailouts and promises always come with a more expensive pricetag than that of the national deficit. It comes with a loss of personal freedom, lack of national sovereignty, and a third-world status nation, as mentioned by Mr. Voight. Thank you, Sir.

    I think it’s great that someone out of Hollywood is speaking out and I hope those stars that feel the same will do the same. I also think that it’s great that Jon spoke about GOD. Between left wing media and Hollywood they have tried to ruin everything holy and Godly.

    GOD BLESS YOU Jon

  • Renee

    The sad thing here is that the people who voted for Mr. Obama, regardless if he’s right or wrong will side with him. They won’t admit that he and his administration have literally raped our country and what it stands for. Who did he think he was to apologize for our country!!! If he doesn’t agree with what it stands for then he needs to get out of Dodge. We don’t need someone as the leader of our country to bend over and release our great nation into the hands of people that only want to destroy it. We were founded on Biblical truths yet he says we are NOT a Christian nation, if you don’t believe in God, go somewhere where they are in agreement with you. You don’t belong here.

    Is your filter filtering out comments that disagree with Jon? It seems so. Why is it that in America there are more individuals in jail, without health care, or living on the street or in dangerous housing complexes than in Europe or many places elsewhere – and knocking each other off with guns. Why again is America the greatest country on earth when so many lose everything they have when they are ill and no one cares. Is it fair that someone who inherits money is entitled to better health care than someone who works in a blue collar job for years without benefits? It seems American Republicans are often selfish individuals wanting to have power to keep everything among themselves while those supposedly below are somehow supposed to suffer or become wealthy as if that is the only goal in life. Apparently wealth doesn’t stop death or allow anyone to take the money with them – but it does give the ability to leave it behind for more seemingly enitled individuals. Capitalism isn’t necessarily the best system for the most people. It should be ME parties. Why should a movie star make millions? Maybe they should be on the bottom of the heap while social workers make the most. The whole system is screwy. Capitalism pays the most to many who really shouldn’t be getting that much money giving those people a feeling, quite often, of superiority and entitlement. Capitalism itself doesn’t take care of it sick and those who are poor. Heath care is common in many European countries, yet there is a backlash from many in the U.S. – meanwhile, America spends billions on weapons. American isn’t the greatest country on earth partly because of the way it is becoming stratified regarding its citizens. I live in Canada where there is health care and it isn’t the ominous and dire situation here that many portray – and what about all those other countries that have health care. Do you really know much about them? Maybe they are better by far other than power ref. America because how America treats many of its citizens without money is appalling.

    • libertytrain

      Andy1 – How funny your question of filtering out those disagreeing with Jon – this is a conservative leaning site – there would be more that agree than not —-

    • Andrew Stoy

      Dear Andy1:
      With all due respect, we don’t really care about the opinion of Canadians with regards to our country any more than you would care about our opinion of yours.
      Please go bother a Canadian blog.

    • METXAZ

      Andy1
      Where are your facts about all the misery in America? You are spewing the same all straw man nonsense that Obama and his cronies on the left have so cleverly practice whenever the look to discredit their critics. You are right about one thing to whom much is given much is expected. The US is the world’s Superpower and the cost of filling that role is great, we don’t have the luxury of planting tulips on our border while our neighbor patrols the Block. Focus more on our Philosophy and the mechanics of Capitalism as opposed to the failings of a few within it. Capitalism provide the greatest opportunity and the greatest standard of living for the greatest number of people. Some people will always fail no matter how much opportunity they have and will always need to be taken care off. We believe we are the greatest and based on the number of people constantly trying to come live here I think we are doing pretty well.

    • Diane

      Andy1, Americans are not selfish. Because of our free enterprise system, we are able to apply our energies and talents to supply our own needs and material goods. Working Americans help to provide for the needs of others in our society who can not provide for themselves through several ways. Local and State taxes, free will giving in our communities and Churches. Americans give more to world missions and disaster relief than any other Nation on earth. If the Obama agenda is ever a reality and we become a socialist Nation, the world will lament over it because all of that free will giving will come to an end. We will not have the extra money to share with others. We do not believe that the Government should control us nor provide for us. We call it liberty, we will keep it, thank you anyway.

    Laura, past and present administration;

    I’d like to take all this information at face value but there are too many faces to know which one to believe.
    1,2,3 &4 was supposed to have been done already but it can be used as an excuse for more government jobs.
    8 & 9 Where was the promised transparency with the WH?
    10 & 11 Simple solution. Just turn the lobbyists into cabinet members
    16 Science and research labs- great for Holder so he can push his forced sterilization program
    17 oppressing the working class
    18 $’s for unions
    19 control the internet
    20 $’s for unions
    21 releasing terrorists so they can try to destroy Americans – again
    22 Taxpayers don’t want to “rescue” car unions
    23 Taxpayers don’t want to “rescue” irresponsible home buyers with blanket bailouts
    24 The only things that got stimulated is unions and congress
    25 What’s the % of actual use one that program. Embarrassing isn’t it.
    26 Again – Why do taxpayers have to rescue banks???
    27 We don’t want secret detention centers closed. We want terrorists kept away from Americans.
    28 You think 9/11 hasn’t been torture for Americans? You think Pelosi doesn’t intimidate Americans every time she opens her plastic mouth?
    30 Are we supposed to feel safer with a gutted missile defense system?
    32,33 &34 Bowing and scraping to our enemies instills great hope and confidence to Americans. We’ll pay for “green” while China laughs at us.
    35 & 36 As if this adm had anything to do with this. Our military should have constant authorization to their jobs.
    37 Hippies feel good and car unions make money.
    38 Can we have a cash for clunker politicians? That would be a program Americans would get behind.
    39 More taxpayer $’s for the car union buddies.
    40 SCHIP Who wasn’t covered before?
    43 Taxing the air we breathe
    45 /The same $’s as Katrina? I’ll bet not. The midwest is a lot tougher and self sufficient – an admirable goal for N.O.
    46,47 & 48 This is not for the taxpayers – it is for government to get their hands on this money.
    50 At a cost to Taxpayers
    51 Shortening seniors lives, a la Ezekiel Emmanuel, will make this one doable.
    52 Believe it when I see it – just another buy off for the HC debacle
    58 Labor w/o pay
    59 see 32,33 &34
    60 Wasn’t the old security doing it’s job? How about making them accountable rather than establishing new offices?
    62 Some how that did not happen. Did you mean ending no bid contract among unions?
    63 &64 Why not make people do their jobs w/o the expansion of government?
    65 &66 Prove that one
    67 One year and not a word of truth here. Where was c-span showing us the health care debate? Oh, that’s right, it was on the other side of the closed and locked door hiding Reid and Pelosi.
    68 Does this include an investigation of Barney Frank and Chris Dodd? If it doesn’t, it is not worth the taxpayers time!
    69 WE are more concerned with Gov’t misspending than tobacco.
    70 How many rules has this adm circumvented to get it’s way.
    71 You guys just write ambiguous stuff and tell us we have to vote for it before we can actually see what is in it. Pelosi’s words.
    75 More govt jobs at expense of taxpayers – huge waste of money here.
    76 Aren’t we all created equal? “Latina” belies that equality idea. “Competent” should be the criteria – silly me to expect equality in today’s world.
    84 At what cost to middle class Americans?
    84 & 85 So?
    86 Just for Show – his pattern belies this token activity
    87 Why should I have to pay for health care for the 600 lb NJ woman who’s sole goal in life is to be !,000 lbs? Is this not a lifestyle choice? If this adm pays for his lifestyle (see 84 &85) why shouldn’t she pay for her decisions and this is a decision. It is not the 30 year old who gets leukemia and looses his home because of the medical cost to save his life.
    You people say that we have to have car insurance and that hc is the same thing. What planet are you living on? I can CHOOSE to not drive a car because the insurance is too high. You deny me my right to choose whether to have health care ins or not. IN THE WORDS OF THE PRO ABORTIONISTS – IT IS MY BODY MY CHOICE!!!!!!
    88 Great! More people for the middle class to have to pay for so this adm can get the votes they need to stay in office.
    This whole thing is about votes and money. The hardest part for the honest, middle class taxpaying workers is that we know. We know that the rich have their attorneys protecting their interests and the poor is is being looked after by the government which leaves middle class fair game for
    anyone who wants to have their way with the working class. Is it any wonder we feel disenfranchised or “angry”?

    So well and sincerely said it gave me hope. Let’s all keep our forces together and not loose sight of the truth and common sense and go out this November to flip the house and get our voices heard!!!

    • gary

      Yes and I hope it works. I do however fear that those in power will rig it someway so they (dems)stay in power. I do not trust this administration, and believe they will lie,cheat or what ever it takes.

    Envy is spelled out very clearly in The tenth commandment, God States,_”You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.”__The answers fairly simple, READ THE BIBLE!

      ‘Congress shall make no law recognizing an establishment of religion’ read the Bill of Rights!

        You forgot the rest of that.

        Or prohibiting the free exercise thereof: or abridge the freedom of speech, or of the press: or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for redress of grievances.

        I like this part as it addresses our rights, you only like the part that addresses the Governments authority.

  • Save America Susie

    It doesn’t matter who a person is, if they are an AMERICAN, they have the right to speak. It’s called Freedom of Speech, whether they are Jon Voight or Joe the Plummer. I admire Jon Voight a lot for speaking up for American rights and the Constitution. Just because he is an actor, doesn’t, mean he doesn’t understand, in fact can deliver the message possibly better than any politician. Actors are great speakers. So don’t shoot the messenger! As far as I am concerned, BO is acting too much like the King of America than its President. He has over stepped his authority as being equal with the congress and Supreme Court. Not their head! America is supposed to be a system of chekcs and balanced. We are sure out of balance right now. Need to get back to the plan laid down by the Founders.

  • Chuck Henry

    I wondered hot many hits there would before someone played the race card. Kudos to Tim. Tim, perhaps if Obama had been truthful with his adoring, fawning, nit wits and insisted that he be considered a mulatto (the offspring from the congress between one white/black or black/white parent) he would have lost some of his voters who voted for him just because he was black and they thought their time had come when whitey was going to get sent to the back of the bus. Tim,what happens when the blacks realize that he is screwing them as well as whitey and their time has not come will they turn on him and he will play his race card and suddenly become the 44st white president?? So you want fair, I don’t know your circumstance or educational background however since you played the race card and are seeking fairness I would suggest you get more education and a better job then work your rump off to attain the station in life you allude to.

  • Laura Schlegel

    Yeah, Mr. Voight! Let’s all grab guns, get rid of all regulations, hide our money off shore, forget revising our trade laws or tax rates for the tax capped “Patriots” and corporatocracy, continue supporting gouging profiteering, outsource all jobs and industry, start wars based on lies, keep eatting factory farm food, continue exploiting people, animals and our envirnoment, stay addicted to dirty fuels, tell the diminished middle class, the poor, homeless, sick and disenfranchised to pull themselves up by their boot straps ’cause they’re all just lazy and ignore how we got here and any progress the scary Obama has made in the emergency room he inherited! Just imagine what miracles McCain and Palin would have performed if they had been elected! And if you don’t want a working government for “We the People” there are places like Haiti, Somalia and the like, where you can fight for survival everyday!

    A year ago, President Obama signed the Recovery Act, a bold initiative not only to rescue our country from a potential second Great Depression but also to build a new economic foundation for the future of our Nation. At that time, we were in an economic freefall — hemorrhaging more than 700,000 jobs a month with the middle class under assault and financial institutions on the brink of collapse.
    One year later, I’ve prepared a report for the President on the impact of the Recovery Act. Even though we have much more to do, the evidence is clear: the Recovery Act is working.
    Before I give you the hard facts, take a look at this video featuring several Mayors — officials on the front lines of this economic crisis — who discuss the impact of the Recovery Act.
    Now here are some facts from the report I hope you’ll share far and wide:
    2 Million Jobs: Public and private forecasters ranging from the Council of Economic Advisors to Moody’s Economy and IHS Global now say the Recovery Act is responsible for about 2 million jobs nationwide.
    Economic Growth: We recently learned that our economy grew 5.7 percent in the fourth quarter — the biggest gain in six years that many economists say is largely due to the Recovery Act.
    Tax Relief: The Recovery Act provided over $100 billion in tax relief for American businesses and families.
    Aid to Small Businesses: This past year, the Recovery Act supplied over 42,000 small business loans that provided nearly $20 billion in much-needed capital.
    Building a New Foundation: The Recovery Act funded tens of thousands of projects nationwide this year that are not only creating jobs right now, but also laying a long-term foundation for economic growth, including investments in high-speed rail, health technology, broadband, a smarter electrical grid, clean cars and batteries, and renewable energy.
    My entire report to the President is available on WhiteHouse.gov/Recovery, and it details specific recovery projects across America. So take a look at what’s happening in your part of the country:

    While we’ve made tremendous progress, our work is far from finished. Many projects are just now getting underway that will be creating jobs throughout 2010 and beyond. And on behalf of the President, I can say our Administration will not stop until every man or woman who wants a job can find one.
    But one year in, the Recovery Act has helped pull us back from the brink of economic disaster and is helping lay a firm foundation for our economic recovery.
    Thank you,
    Joe Biden
    Vice President

      Dear Laura or Robert, or whoever wrote the 90 point list:

      You act like the 90 things on this list are important and meaningful to our country, when most of them have not happened or were just promised and never acted on. Are you blind to what the MAJORITY of Americans think about this administration and the direction it is heading, or do you just choose to ignore reality. I guess if you are in a university environment and have never held a real job where you had to produce something or be responsible for something, this IS your view of reality.
      For the rest of us who believe in personal responsibility, morals, integrity, honesty and helping people who truly are in need who try to help themselves, we see very little in this list that will accomplish that.

        The other important thing about those 99 points is that a lot of them were things I didn’t want him to do. He said he was going to do them and that’s why I voted for the other guy! Too bad he did them – we would have been better off if he had gone on vacation.

      Obama will let Iran get the bomb and they will use it on Israel and then we have hell in a hand basket.and you will still be singing kumbaya. But then if this happens you and Obama will just blame bush. Sad so very Sad.
      And as for Robert P. Watson, ph.D.coordinator of American studies. Lynn University. #85 paid for redecorating of white house living quarters out of his own pocket. was that when Obama removed the bust of Winston churchill and replaced it with a bust of nelson Mandela who was jailed by the British for acts of terrorism.
      And shouldn’t there be a number 91 on the list of Obama Accomplishments Like. Obama actually washed his own socks… once.

      Laura,
      THE CLASSIC bureaucratic response we have come to expect from Obama and his team of useful Idiots! Like when Doris(?) who asked Obama at a recent speech whether we are being Taxed Enough Already, and was then buried in a sea of words by him, as he rambled on for 17 1/2 minutes.
      The govt has all kinds of statistics to say whatever you want. And btw, just because money is thrown at a problem doesn’t mean it gets solved or that we are in any way better off. You think the FEDS should do everything, but have you heard of the State Govt. They are in the game as well, and much closer to the problem than DC.
      Until we take a machete to govt programs and stop the nanny state mentality we are doomed as a country. Also, I get the impression you are a racist the way you malign Haiti and Somalia, two countries that are approx 95% black. Get a grip and stop trying to use other people’s money to spend as you see fit. Give people the chance to succeed or fail on their own!!

    • Realist

      I didn’t think it was possible to drink that much koolaid, quite the accomplishment!!!

    • Alicia

      I lived under a Socialist government. I know by experience how insidious that type of government can be and how the ignorant masses can be deceived.
      First let me take the issue Mr. Obama uses against everyone who criticizes his “policies”. We are called racists, first of all if over 70 % of the American voters who do not agree with his view of our country are “racists” and hated him…how did he get elected? Are you telling us the black minorities and ACORN were the only ones who voted for him?
      Second point: It is a great depression he is trying to avoid. Are you trying to convince anyone that quadrupling the debt and increasing the war expenses is going to avoid that? Rather than helping the small companies in the private sector by lowering their taxes rather than placing more burden on them. Have you ever wonder why we have not created more jobs except in the government?
      Third point: It is all Mr. Bush faults, because of the 2 wars he started and the Wall Street greed that caused the economic crisis.
      Well, the problem with that theory is that Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac were created prior to George Bush and banks were forced to give mortgages to the poor, even if they were not within the credit guidelines of any bank…because they would otherwise were being “discriminated”. That the Wall St firms were evil and bought and sold paper that ultimately was not worth the paper they were written on? Yes and they were greedy and if they are the main culprits, why are they the ones that had benefitted by Obama and the current Congress more than under any other government?
      Why are Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac still allowed to make bad loans and take in our tax dollars? Why is the oversight Banking Commission in Congress (Chris Dodd and Barney Franks) still on the jobs they held when this was going belly up? And they denied it was happening…
      Why are the unions that helped the Congress and greedy companies send the jobs overseas, still getting help from this Administration with the taxpayers money? Why are we not assisting the small companies that have remained in the country and created 90% of the private sector jobs?
      Why has this administration only helped with bail outs the large ones?
      As for the 2 wars… as far as I can see there are still 2 and now there are more troops out there than when Pres Bush left.
      As for blaming the “rich” for sending money out of the country? well…nobody is sending more money out of the country to pay interest on debt they created, than this Administration.
      So if you agree with the current Administration, you are now a minority, but, the fact that you are on their side does not mean they are protecting your interest, plain and simple they are not on your side. Have you ever wonder why all Socialist countries have a lower standard of living than the non Socialist ones? Or why our tax dollars are being used to counsel prostitutes in South China against getting AIDS or paying for abortions in Mexico and Belize while your parents or you, may have to wait for months to get an operation because we must save on Medicare/Medicaid? Does anyone believe they can make a system more efficient after adding 20 million plus when they have not done it with a lot less patients? Or even more basic: how does a Gov. intends to add 20 to 30 million patients and has not planned to get more doctors, nurses or hospitals to serve them?
      Could you understand why experience matters and why having the most inexperience President in the history of the country, matters? Why management experience and understanding of the economy matters? Obama did not even manage a little town like Wasilla nor a state like Alaska for a week, nor a bodega in Harlem… If you add to that the inept friends and brown noses in his Cabinet…it will be not just hard to succeed for him but even for him to comprehend why he can’t. There is a reason why most people do not take a most brilliant architect and let him do open heart surgery simply because you think he is smart ad has good intentions…but then common sense is not always easy to find, is it?
      Which may account for him saying he had visited 57 states when the US only has 50 or that his parents got together because of the protests of Selma, Alabama made them realize that union could work… when those marches took place 4 years after his birth? Let’s face it guys he is not the brightest crayon in the box nor does he have the proper team to correct those ridiculous mistakes before he makes them…

      When individuals like Robert Watson, teacher of American Studies at Lynn University, are indoctrinating our children with their slanted and biased political views in the classroom, it’s no wonder we’re in the fix we’re in. Watson’s ThinkActLead “think tank” is nothing more than a breeding ground for socialism. I read a number of his editorial comments until I couldn’t take it any longer and had to break for a fresh breath of freedom and clear my head. We pay these guys to supposedly work in higher learning…they spend half their time going on trips as “visiting fellows” (check out how much Watson travels elsewhere…when does he find time to teach anything?)…when they reach full professorship, they have graduate assistants teach all their classes while they are doing “research” and asking for grant money. And we can’t fire them! (See Ward Churchill.) I’m not impressed with any of his credentials and he publishes several pages of them. Give me someone with common sense every time.

  • http://www.sensiblechange.org Ken

    What bothers Tim is that he thinks the Hollywood booboisie should be united in their adulation of the Chosen One. There are a number of people with smarts in Hollywood and Jon Voight is one of them. Tim would probably have to problem with airheads like Alec Baldwin, Barbra Streisand, Jane “Hanoi” Fonda, the Green Moron Ed Begley, and others of their ilk. Fundamentally, Obama is a marxist. Behind the slick outward demeanor and teleprompter is an enemy of freedom, capitalism and our American way of life. His father was a marxist, his mother was a marxist, his youthful mentor Frank Marshall Davis was a marxist, his pastor of 20 years was an anti-American far-left radical, and he taught Alinsky to the ignorant. What’s that old adage? If he walks like a marxist, talks like a marxist… Many of his appointments are marxists or maoists. When, in 2008, he said we were “five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America,” he was obviously referring to his marxist vision. What would you expect from someone who rejects the fundamental philosophy behind the constitution as a charter of negative liberties designed to keep government in check. Obama wants to transform it into an agent of radical economic redistribution. How many times must we go down the same worn-out path of failed socialist or communist experiments because new generations don’t learn the lessons of history. That’s the danger of Obama. He is well spoken, but deeply ignorant of history, economics, science, and the White Sox (who play in “Cominsky” Park). His guiding principle is marxist ideology which trumps reasoned thought and basic common sense. The “liberals” and progressives are in awe of him because they are so dismally ignorant and easily led. The sooner we can emasculate his agenda the better. Can’t wait for November.

  • Chuck, a vet

    The trouble with the those on the left and their cronies in the mass media is that they can’t handle the truth. Like lemmings they will follow this pied piper over a cliff and they are annoyed that anyone would question blind obedience to the “new order”.

    America is waking up to the fact that this “novelty” is really a landmine attempting to cripple our nation.

    The biggest fear is that the half of the stimulus money that has been hidden will be used to pay off ACORN types to rig the 2010 elections.

    You can bet they will try to steal the elections the “Chicago way”.

  • http://personalliberty PFFFF

    Propaganda is acceptable if it serves your purpose, isn’t it; regardless if it’s left, right, middle, up, down…it’s all the same. Voight’s profession as an actor doesn’t qualify him to speak anymore ‘wisdom’ then the person watching the movie he played in.

      His ability to grasp the facts and truth is his wisdom.

      His willingness to promote the beliefs of our founding fathers and what made this country great, upon serious loss from the Hollywood community makes him a hero. But then you obviously have no clue to any of what Jon is saying, nor the impact of your Ombama’s killing of our country. Your points prove just how ignorant, wrong and un-American you are.

      Obama is a “post turtle”. Anyone knows that if you see a turtle on the top of a post, it didn’t get there by itself. Likewise, someone put Obama in the position to be voted into the highest office in the land. He didn’t get there by himself. Was it the unions? or the socialist crowd? Whomever, we need to break their strength. There are enough of us and we vote.

      In November, we MUST REMEMBER what we are feeling now—and vote for people with honesty and character and experience in the world outside the Washington bubble.

      • http://www.w3f.com/patriots/ JRBeaman

        Luv the Post Turtle analogy. So fitting for Obummer.

        Know the difference between Obama and his dog Bo?
        Bo has papers.

        Proven fact: Lowering taxes results in Washington having more money to spend. Those that doubt it have no clue to how our economy or government works.

        To claim taxes need to be raised to fund some Federal government activity is a lie, as it is a tool to supress our economy to gain power, and not to ‘help the people’ as sold by the Democraps.

        No Flat Tax, no Income Tax, NONE OF THE ABOVE. Let Washington live within it’s budget and quit stealing from our posterity to reward those who illegally helped him get elected on the backs of our kids.

        A replacement is not needed. Let them add tarrifs as they used to fund the entire government before 1930. Taxing the people cannot bring about prosperity, but only bring on more financial slavery to our people.

        Please inform anyone suggesting a Flat or Vat tax that ‘none of the above’ (like Obamacare) is the will of the people. And ‘none of the above’ is the only way back from the brink. Any politician promoting a Flat Tax needs to know he will not be re-elected. Period.

      • Tom W

        Connie…

        You hit it right on the head of the nail when you questioned whether it was the unions that helped Obama get into office.

        Let me first define what the unions are today. A union’s purpose is to keep the workers miserable and thinking they have it bad. This is how a union gets and keep its power. Over the past few generations, the unions have gotten quite good at brain-washing not only its members, but the children of its members. The workers in a union do not have to produce, they just have to show up (and sometimes they don’t even have to do that). That is why labor costs in the U.S. automakers plants are twice that of the imports (Honda, Toyota, Subaru, etc…) where the plants are right here in the U.S. and use American workers.

        To top it off, most blue collar positions pay MORE at the import auto plants.

        Right now we need to stop these corrupt unions from running the direction of Washington. Also, we need to stop the brain-washing of Americans by breaking up these unions.

        Will you pledge to not purchase a new car made by union workers? I have and just purchased a 2010 Subaru Outback. It was proudly made in Lafayette, Indiana by non-union workers.

    If Voight had portrayed Stalin or Marx, would he be seen as a great actor? I see no good reason for an actor to try and make FDR look good. FDR’s robotic fans go out of their way to praise him, but they rarely acknowledge any of his MANY faults.
    Lenin and Marx were ‘transformers,’ but what they did to Russia involved the deaths of millions of innocent men, women and children (second to only Mao). Probably, we’ll never what Obummer means when he talks about ‘transforming’ America.
    How can anyone with a functional brain claim Obummer is trying to make America better? In Obummer’s dream world, America can’t be better until government controls every aspect of everyone’s life (unless you’re a bureaucrat).
    Obummer is in no way Christ-like. Obummer is no Einstein. He’s no Murray Rothbard. Obummer is no Dr. Salk. He’s no Hank Aaron. He’s no MLK. The list goes on and on, folks.
    Obummer is a hack, a talking head and a puppet, and whoever pulls his strings needs to be exposed and dealt with immediately. It can truly be said that with a friend like Obummer, America needs no enemies (domestic or otherwise).
    A good bottle of wine says the social engineers in Hollypsycho already have plans for making movies about Obummer. I can only hope that someone ‘extremely talented’ will write the scripts and direct those films (like Al Gore, i. e.).

    • Palin12

      Not only FDR. He’s had many great parts, going way back to “Deliverance”. He played Howard Cosell in “Ali”. And a maniac on the loose in “Runaway Train”, filmed in Alaska wilderness. He and his daughter need to bury the hatchet and have a little forgiveness.

        Quite frankly, I don’t think his acting parts have anything to do with

        D J, Jon Voight is 100% correct and I have personal and first-hand knowledge of it.

        This person is an Obama follower and feels that everyone owes them something. The Liberal mindset is so mindless. You all seem to have taken the dummy-down pill that the Clinton Administration passed around.

        You probably think the 90′s were so great because of Clinton but they weren’t. It was the Republican’s “Contract With America” that Clinton was pulled into, kicking and screaming, that made the 90′s what they were.

        If you don’t mind learning something useful, you should watch Glenn Beck everyday. It may hurt your brain for a while, I hear that happens to some people, but eventually you will start to get some clarity and things will make sense.

      Don’t tell us to stop using the words “socialist” or “Marxist”. These labels properly identify the ideology being implemented by the Obama administration.

      The transformation you describe as “fair” is in fact just the opposite. Your “social justice” is just theft by another name. You advocate government steal from some citizens to benefit others. That is both immoral and unjust.

        To Martin: God has had a lot to do with our Republic, when it was formed, and throughout our history.You obviously don’t know your history, probably because our Christian heritage is being washed from our history books even now. Read an older biography of some of our founding fathers to know the truth.The founding fathers had a deep Godly fear and mostly high moral character, as can be noticed by anyone who actually knows the facts of our history.
        Since the 1960′s,an evil plot to remove God from our society has been taking place, a little here, and a little there.It is now legal to kill babies as they are being born,anything having to do with Christianity: prayer in school,even though it was not compulsory,displays of manger scenes at Christmas time,the ten commandments being displayed, and on and on, are being taken away.Television and movies are full of immorality,sex,foul language,and all forms of moral degredation.Those young people growing up in our society are no longer exposed to examples of good character,morals, and many of the things that would lead them in the proper direction.Look at the corruption in government,and society in general, the bottom line,the almighty dollar is what is sought after, instead of God and Godly principles.I could go on and on, but suffice it to say,Martin, you are simply ignorant of the truth, and are oblivious to what is actually going on around you.If more people would begin to stand up for truth and righteousness, we can turn this country around.” If my people,which are called by my name,shall humble themselves and pray,and seek my face,and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven,and will forgive their sin , and will heal their land” II Chronicles 7:14 Our land is in jeapordy, and needs to be healed!

        Hey, “Hans:” Just what is it that you are afraid of? You refer to Obama & FDR as being “despicable;” (you obviously did not do your homework on FDR.) but it was OK for G.W. & Cheney to lead us into a war that took the lives of thousands of our innocent soldiers in Iraq? Also, let’s not forget to mention his leaving over a trillion dollar deficit before he handed the keys to the White House to Obama. Bush’s incompetence led this runaway economic train to disaster, and you have the audacity to put the blame all on the shoulders of Obama?

        Where is the wimp now? Let me guess? He is busy building his namesake library in Crawford,TX. G.W. Bush, as history will prove, and to some extent already has, will have the dubious distinction of being one of the worst presidents this country has ever had.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac where nothing more than a puppet of Barny Frank and the dem’s. You all say that the Republicans are in the pocket of big oil, well we now see how the Democrats are in the hip pocket of Wall Street. Czars?? this is becoming Russia all over again!

      • Seraphim

        Hey Pete, did you know that B.O. was an attorney threatening Fannie May and Freddie Mac that if they didn’t give loans to low-income families he would personally sue them? B.O. helped these two companies fail…. leading to his great plan to destroy us internally.

      • fran x martin

        Pete your right on Bev just sounds so ignorant

      • Pete

        Hey Bev,

        Here are some things to consider:

        Right from: http://conservablogs.com/bluecollarmuse/2008/09/26/govt-dems-caused-housing-crisis-including-obama/

        “These two entities, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, are not facing any kind of financial crisis”, said Barney Frank of Massachusetts, the ranking Democrat on the Financial Services Committee. “The more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing.”

        Representative Melvin L. Watt, Democrat of North Carolina, agreed. “I don’t see much other than a shell game going on here, moving something from one agency to another and in the process weakening the bargaining power of poorer families and their ability to get affordable housing,” Mr. Watt said.

        Yeah, there where no problems……..

        Maybe GW will be one off the worst presidents,but at least he was a legal president unlike BHO.BHO is going to be in the history books as the worst illegal president we have ever had.This illegal has spent more of the American Peoples money than all of the legal Presidents combined. GW was not perfect but at least he protected this country with strength.You never once seen him bow down to anyone unlike this illegal.

      • Mike Hurder

        George did exactly what he was elected to do. Protect the USA. End of story. the libs are mad at him because he did jus that…he protected our society and didn’t let it fall into the the stickhole of socialism they so desire. Piss on the lot of ‘em.
        Revolt with your vote in 2010 and 2012. End the idiocy of Obamunism.

        PS: FDR was as socialist. Piss on him too.

        Are you really watching movies for your news? I’m sure you have watched the Al Gore movie, along with Michael Moore! Your red commie authors have slanted your news so you are now a kool aid drinker. Wake up, because the liberties Americans are losing, are also your liberties.

        Hey Bev.

        First, America was attacked, we get upset, our congress decides it is an act of war. They decide to give G.W. powers to take what ever steps needed to go after the enemy. A declaration that we are at war. Next young people by the thousands from all over this great Nation, on their own free will mint you, show up to serve. These are the innocent soldiers you are talking about. I am the mother of one such young man and the aunt of another that is going on his fifth tour. Do you know why? To protect your freedom to spout off against G.W. and our poor innocent soldiers and insult their family members. You have no idea what a patriot is. God bless all of you who have served and God protect our soldiers that are still in the battle. Thanks for for being willing to pay so dear a price for Americas liberty and bev’s right to complain.

      • http://www.personalliberty.com Lisa

        Go Diane!!! How true! Unfortunately, the majority of Americans DO NOT feel the need to truly SERVE their country. I can only imangine what would happen if our government did like they do in Europe….everyone between certain ages serves at the minimum a two year hitch. Period. It would give some of the slugs in this nation a taste of what it’s like.

      • Heidi

        Wow…Bev…I feel so sorry for you….Your statements show your complete lack of understanding of this country and what it was formed to stand for…and keep in mind- George W. Bush will be known as one of the best Presidents this country has had- one of the few with the balls we need…not afraid to stand up to those who wish to destroy this country…your Comment that because of him we will be fighting terrorist…lol…I guess we shouldn’t blame the terrorists who attacked us on our own soil and on foreign soils…(USS Cole…embassies…)perhaps you are too young to have kept up on the news….Typical liberal blaming the President for others actions…lol..oh well- thanks for the amusement I received from reading your posts….

      • Roger

        If your such an a American why dint you bitch when Bush was in. Maybe you were to busy praying, or sitting on you couch watching T.V.

      Tim.

      How is it ‘fair’ for a person who is too lazy, sees an opportunity to get something for nothing, to take from a hard working American instead of contributing something in exchange for his winnings?

      Democrats have long practiced the politics of envy. They preach that their policies help the working man (or woman) whereas the Republicans are the party of the rich. They like to pit the poor against the rich and promote the notion that if someone earns more than whatever Democrats consider a “living wage” (a despicable term) then that person is somehow evil. Many Americans have fallen for this Democrat scheme based upon Marxism (PLEASE LOOK UP THE OFFICIAL DEFINITION). You blame FOX news when someone gives their opinion, as though your hero Oberman trounces our country’s foundations on a daily basis. You are a hypocrite, and a shame to be called an American. You have no clue to what the Usurper Obama is doing to your future, and the future of my children and grandchildren, all because you believe you should get something off the backs of those willing to work for it. You make me sick, not because of your beliefs, but for spreading your poison, and lies to the world in your posting.

    • http://PersonalLibertyDigest Upbeat4ever

      There are those who thought that about Ronald Reagan. And what he knew helped this country thru the previous mess that liberal thinking had put us in. He was one of our best presidents. You can’t judge a person’s intelligence by his vocation. I still can’t understand why the liberals seem to think they are the only ones who can have informed actors speak for their causes. There is a difference between being just informed about an idea or cause and being intelligent and knowing the facts. I believe that Jon is the latter.

      • D J Jarrard

        Reagan was certainly the most overrated president in the 20th century.

    • Tom W

      Tim,

      Apparently you have drank the Obama ‘Koolaid’. I believe hardly any of the people who responded to your post are making millions. And if they were, so what? I have a friend who has a small business and makes a very good income (not even close to a million) every year. He has worked hard for the past ten years, many days working 14 hours or more and every day, not just five. Although he only has a few employees, they don’t need a corrupt union to make it easy to slough off or come in to work drunk.

      He has used hard work, determination and sacrifice to get where he is today, and for what?

      Every year, he has to ‘work’ for the government till June to cover his taxes. Do you think that is fair? Would you do that? Would you even try to succeed if you knew you had to give the government 50% of every dollar you made? To never see one penny of it back?

      I didn’t think so…

    • L.A.

      Sorry Tim, but if this is why nobody takes Fox News seriously then Why did You write your comment to such a “Worthless” blog? The truth is, contrary to popular belief, it is NOT about the Black Man in Office or race at all, it’s about the WRONG Black Man in Office, There are Plenty of viable BLACK candidates, and most of them Love America. The principles The tea Baggers are fighting for, are the same ones our ancestors fought and DIED for to gain Independence from the Crown of England.
      There are Plenty of Socialistic Nations out there, Most of them used to envy America (until We started to become More like them) So if You are a socialist please feel free to pick out any of those other socialistic countries and move there, they won’t mind, they would love to have you, but Here at Home we are going to Hold our politicians feet to the Constitutional fire Which as we can see is being Stoked daily, Our comments are feeding the Fire!

      • D J Jarrard

        If America is so great, why has our standard of living fallen from third in the world to nineteenth since the advent of the “Reagan Revolution”? How can anyone cling to this modern “Neo-conservatism” without deluding themselves that it isn’t a farce? Look up the definition of Conservative (in a pre-FOXNEWS dictionary.) Your ignorance is impressive!

      • Texpatriot

        Jarrad, to answer your question specifically, the reason America has lost status in light of other ‘developing’ countries is for just the reason Voight makes his speech in the first place. We’ve become a spineless people who refuse to stand up for the greatness that this nation once was. It’s people like yourself, and your beloved president Mr. Obama, that have done everything within your power to degrade and destroy this nation. The impotence brought onto this nation is the resultant of our falling deeper into a marxist/socialism at every turn.
        If you think America is not worth returning to it’s former greatness, then I’m sure that Cuba or Venezuela would gladly welcome you. I for one would gladly see you off in a leaky boat.
        Do you think I’m a Right Wing Conservative Extremist?
        Remember – This country was founded by Right Wing Conservative Extremists.

    • Artist in Las Vegas

      On Tax Day, Barack Obama told a crowd of left-wing donors at a Democratic fundraising event in Miami that the Tea Party rallies across the country have “amused” him and that we should all be “thanking” him for our tax bills. My husband did our taxes and we have recieved $1200 back instead of our normal $4k. We paid dearly from wages AND on tax day with less recompense due us. We are not rich. We only pull in about 36k a year if that, with 2 part-time jobs my husband has, and I’m unemployed…. NOT recieving welfare because I’m an able-bodied person not dependant upon being a burden on other tax payers! I have to ask though…

      What should we thank Barack Obama for? Government-run health care? A $12 trillion deficit? Record-high unemployment rates? Increased taxes? Lowering not only our Country’s Defense but also permitting our own Pentagon’s Computer systems to be hacked by the China in the name of cooperation? Acquiring the Nobel-Peace Prize for some unknown reason, which is stealing from those who actually deserved it? For the 100s of LIES that spew out of his mouth daily?

      You know, you can keep on touting that anyone opposed to this NON-American Imposter must be a racist, or nazi or some other loonatic reasoning you consistently display, but most of us are looking at actions, not skin color. I, for one, would love it if Alan Keyes were President. HE is a man of conviction and knows right from wrong as well as the best way to govern a Nation! He is black. (gasp) Am I racist that I do not care for Obama’s actions yet want a different black man in office or am I actually up on my politics? hmmm.

      Leftwing-progressive-liberal tactics such as what’s now at our Country’s helm is devisive and stems from thinking of YOU and I as a mass not as INDIVIDUALS. This way they have no conscience when they indeed RAPE our freedoms in the name of control and power.

      Next, you will be seeing those at OUR helm employing Political internment camps where they can place the ‘objectors’. Any who oppose him will be placed in those camps for not being ‘socially just’. You will see your right to bear arms become illegal. You will see your right to sit down and blog disappear as the internet becomes under the control of this existing REGIME-type government. You will see ‘Social justice’ being used over and over again as a way to control your mind to do what they want you to do, not what is right.

      So here is a bit of advice for you who completely have missed the train, or have no lights on upstairs. First, learn how to spell and form a constructive sentence. Second, learn fact from fiction by using your God-given complex brain (that space between your ears) to find sources that will point you to facts, not fiction… You see, fiction, although I know you’re preference is to be told stories at night at bedtime, is not actually reality. Fiction is a made up story, or a version skewed from reality. Fact is concrete. It has happened and is true no matter who tells it. Fact is where you want base your decisions upon, whether they involve politics, or other aspects of your life. Thirdly, you may want to actually ask some of these Teaparty people, or conservative people, or anyone else who opposes what Obama is doing to this country, what color THEY are before assuming they are racist. For you are calling a whole slew of Americans racist, who, by my honest assessment, are far from racist. You see, that concept is another bit of fiction you were read at bedtime and you’ve actually come to believe of others who don’t think your way.

      Do you feel entitled to your opinion? If you do, then why can’t others also feel entitled to theirs? I wonder if you know what social policies actually are. Human freedom consists largely in the ability to live as one chooses, subject to certain constraints needed to keep peace and order. The biological, psychological, and social characteristics of human nature and the constraints needed for social order determine the substance of human freedom. They are the basis for those claims to freedom of actin known as natural rights.

      I observe, by contrast that the Obama agenda’s invasive social policies foster economic irresponsibility, pathological dependency and social conflict. The reason for these destructive effects are power, and control over the masse, not the individual. They do not think of us as individuals as I’ve mentioned before. So in the future, when you want to view a picture from a book but find there are no pictures or books due to them lending to freedom of thought, you can thank this Socialist frame of mind for shaping societal boundaries ever so tightly.

      • Cora Cochran

        Very realistic view by Artist in Las Vegas on the current administration and the peril we face. I agree.
        Also think that Jon voight has earned his ability to speak on the behalf of those of us who can’t readily be in the place to do that.
        Many cheers to others that will grab onto his speech to the Potus and keep the message alive for all our futures.

      • D J Jarrard

        By a democrat congress

      • Artist in Las Vegas

        I’m sorry but YOU are wrong. My taxes for the past 4 years were exactly the same. WHY are we short-changed THIS year? We had no changes that effect our returns except a bulbous-headed con-man who is sitting in the Whitehouse. Who was elected in 2008? Oh it was Obama. So yes, I feel that our return was effected by Obama’s administration’s poorly executed decisions, mainly the Stimulus (democrat’s wish list instead of an economy booster), and this poor excuse for a healthcare bill. I was opposed to the Stimulus as were countless Financial EXPERTS. All he needed to do to stimulate the economy was lower taxes as an incentive for the masses to spend money. He did not listen nor would the mainstream media, resulting in 10% unemployment rate, which was held down in it’s importance by many mainstream media outlets.

        Another thing you all got wrong….We are NOT OPPOSED to Healthcare reform, we are opposed to crooked bills passing themselves off as HC reform. This was not reform it was a high-pressure sale from a car lot flim-flam man! Wrapped up in a pretty package and fed to the average unquestioning public, lies, and all.

        “…we’ll just have to pass this bill to see what’s in it…” OH PLEASE! wake up and smell the coffee! The latest in this con-man’s ( and his 3-blind mice..ie Dodd, Pelosi, Reid)tactics has been to completely revamp and take-over the Nations healthcare in the name of “humanity”. If you were against this joke of a bill, you were suddenly cast into the fire as a monster who doesn’t want healthcare for all. BULL Cocky! That is verbal high-jacking! I want a reform bill. Reform is new guidelines and regulations without taking away freedoms of the American people! MORON! Who in their right mind likes the idea of being FORCED under threat of a hefty fine and or JAIL time to pay for healthcare? I’m so embarassed by those of you who just don’t see this man’s manipulating ways! What’s he have to do before you’ll actually use your complex and able brain? ….Oh wait.. you don’t have a complex or able brain!

      • janie helton

        Artist ~ You are good. Every word and every thought are right on. Keep on keeping on and let’s all hang together. It is not about race. I have often said that if a true American who was an upright honest black man had been elected, it would certainly have been a proud moment in our American history. Unfortunately, the first black/white man to be elected has tried to made it a racial war through the biased media and his ignorant decisions and bullying ways. If this were a backyard ballgame, the little kids would have ran him down the street; not matter what color.

      You are totally clueless. Further, this marxist dictator and his regime full of socialists, radicals and marxists may still have the attention of some of the people who were stupid enough to trust him is destroying our country by bankrupting us and dismanteling our free market system and our military. He would’t know the truth if he tripped on it and lies to the American people who are still foolish enough to believe a single word he says. Believe the numbers of people who no longer trust the government as it has now reached about 75%, so many are waking up to what is happening and all that hope this monster talked about is turning to fear.

        Bev., I am appalled by your viciousness and total lack of knowledge of your Nation’s Constitution and of the Bill of Rights! My Dear, We are in deep trouble and people like you will refuse to see it until our Constitution has been completely destroyed and replaced with another! This is not about a Black man being President, it is about what this Particular Black President is doing to the American People and to our Nation’s Government with the help of a Democratic Congress!
        I was once a Democrat, however, when President Clinton sat in front of Congress and LIED on the witness stand, that was all she wrote for me! He took an oath in which he was to respect and defend the Office Of the President Of The United States Of America. Yet, a sitting President sat before the Supreme Court,Congress and the American People and lied through his adulterous lips. The last person in office to be that balantant was Richard Nixon!

        America has always been proud of being independant and free thinkers, what happened? Now we hear about beople actually believing that Socialism is a good thing? We hear of people actualy thinking that Daddy Obama is going to pay their mortgages and their car notes! By all the Saints in Heaven where has our pride gone? I don’t want the U.S. Government to pay my bills or tell me when I can go to the Loo!My Dear Lord in Heaven, is this what our ancestors’, fathers’ and grandfathers’ have fought and died for?? Is this what the men of WWll laid their lives down for?? People don’t want to go to war, however, we would not have the wonderful country we have today, if they were not brave enough and patriotic enough to fight for our freedoms. Obama has snubbed every Ally and embraced our Enemy and I am disgusted with him! If we don’t believe in our American Values, our Freedom and our Country enough to fight this fight, then we are finished, done, over. Stand up and fight for who we are as a Nation and as a people. We have always lived not being afraid to voice our opinion to anyone, not even The President Of the United States. We have lived as we pleased, went where we pleased and have had no fear that we would be rounded up and killed or placed in prison, for disagreeing with our Government Now this Barack Obama wants to tell us Not only how to live, he wants to tell us what car to drive, what food to eat,wether or not we will receive medical treatment or if we will be left to die because we are to old or sick to recieve medical care. He will also put us in Jail if we do not obey his law to buy Medical Insurance or fine us. THAT IS Against Our Constitutional Rights as Americans’. Obama now has the U.S.Goverment in the business of taking over Corporations’ who are about to fail, which is also against the Constitution. That is NOT the America I know and love! Bev., You need to educate yourself on what it is to be an American, We Buckle Under To No Enemy and to No President, our President BOWS to NO Dignatary! We fight for our Country when we have to and we are proud to live in The United States Of America. “Home Of The Brave and Land Of The Free!. If an American or any other person doesn’t like the way we are, there are plenty of countries in which to live to choose from. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

      Tim,
      I believe you are misinformed. Fox News has higher ratings than CNN and MSNBC put together. That means more people are watching Fox News because it seems to be the only television network that provides both sides.
      With regards to Barach Obama. I have never been more disappointed in an administration that is leading us to Socialism. I think that if Barach, Nancy and Harry wanted to live under this type of rule they should relocate to where it exists.

      I am an Independent who has become a Tea Party member and have attended many Tea Parties in NY and Tampa FL. I will tell you that I have met great people that are peaceful. In fact, the only time I have heard any profanity at a Tea Party rally was from Barach Obama supporters that drive by and yell insults and curses. If any member of Congress was spit on or yelled at I would not be surprised if it was planned to make the Tea Party look bad.

    • Shelly

      Come on Tim. Fair to people like you is spreading the wealth. I am not wealthy and go to work like most Americans do everyday. I am glad and lucky to have a job that pays a FAIR wage. I am not a movie star or am I a corporate head, and I don’t envy those that make 6 figures. I don’t believe that my financial debt should be covered by those that are rich. They owe me nothing! It sounds as though you believe that just because he is Hollywood and rich, he doesn’t have credibility. Others from Hollywood have certainly spoken out for or against our government in the past, so why is this any different?

    • http://www.lindazloft.com Eric

      Tim, This is from wikipedia; From each according to his ability, to each according to his need (or needs) is a slogan popularized by Karl Marx in his 1875 Critique of the Gotha Program.[1] The phrase summarizes the principles that, under a communist system, every person should contribute to society to the best of his or her ability and consume from society in proportion to his or her needs. In the Marxist view, such an arrangement will be made possible by the abundance of goods and services that a developed communist society will produce; the idea is that there will be enough to satisfy everyone’s needs.

      • Seraphim

        This is just what the liberals are wanting. They want to take from someone who is rich, leave them with they amount they feel that the individual needs, and distribute the rest throughout to those who need. That is communism!

        Think about this for a moment… If people started getting the same amount of money from the government and not work, wont everyone start doing that? Then!, who is going to work? Who is going to provide the taxes to give to the non-working? Where are all the small businesses going to be if the owners get more being on welfare and unemployment than running a business? Then, the government will ORDER us to start working! And it could come to telling us what job we will have. Maybe a once CEO of a great company is now a ditch digger. In the Soviet Union, people had to wait in lines for days to get a loaf of bread.

        Now, people can say “it will never get to that”. Hopefully not but the trends are heading that route. Nothing happens over night, it progresses. B.O., Polosi, and Reed want things to happen but know that if it happens too fast people will catch on. Well, some of us have caught on to their tricky ways!

      • http://www.personalliberty.con Venus

        Seraphim, I hope that everyone in the country reads your post.

        I visited Russia in 1991 about 6 months before communism fell, with a group who went there to teach business methods to a group of about 50 Russians. They are very loving people, and accepted us warmly. We travelled in a cruise ship along the Moscow and Volga rivers, holding seminars every afternoon and evening (with a wonderful interpreter). Frequently, we would stop at villages and points of interest, and visited Red Square, Lenin’s tomb, the Hermitage, St. Petersburg and many other historic and cultural sites.

        In Red Square, my sister and I were cautioned at gun-point not to step across a line (too close to the tomb) and behind us was the beautiful golden mosque with all its towers and onion domes that was falling into disrepair.

        At the foot of the amazing 50-ft escalator with beautifully tiled walls that brought us down to the subway was an old woman who took our tickets, but there were cigarette butts and trash everywhere.

        Our bus took us past a building that had a line of people winding around three sides of the block… the bus driver said “The store must have shoes today”.

        We went to the best restaurant in Moscow for dinner one evening. I don’t remember the entree, but dessert was to be chocolate sundaes. When it arrived, we got chocolate syrup drizzled in a little bowl – they had no ice cream.

        We went to the Gumm store (Moscow’s biggest department store) and there was no merchandise on the shelves. To buy a sweater, the person behind the counter would pull one out from underneath, you could look at it but she must hold it and if you decide to take it, go to the cashier sitting up in a very high box, pay your rubles, obtain a chit to take back to the salesperson, and exchange it for your sweater.

        The train between Gorky and St. Petersburg took 17 hours. My Mom, my sister and I had a “private” compartment with a twin-size iron bunk bed on each side leaving a 2-foot aisle in the middle. There was a dirty, lumpy mattress on each and no sheets, pillows or blankets. I stepped out into the passageway to look at the pastoral scenery and was scolded by the guard (one in each train car) “no pictures allowed” – I had my camera suspended around my neck. The lavatory was horrendous – filthy, no running water, a toilet seat over a pail with no bottom that just emptied onto the train-tracks, and no paper products. The train pulled into a station and before I could get out, I was locked in there until the train started up again!!

        All this is in contrast to the gorgeous cathedrals, mosques and monuments (which are now mostly museums), the incredible original paintings and artwork in the Hermitage, and the glorious Summer Palace in St. Petersburg (which they are restoring, bit by bit, when money becomes available).

        This is what 70 years of communism did to a nation of lovely, artistic, industrious people. They no longer knew how to do anything except collect “the dole” and do the menial jobs assigned to them. If a child exhibited intelligence, he/she could be chosen to be educated by the state, but the state decided what she/he should take and what profession he/she could pursue. They had no incentive to make or invent anything, or aspire to anything better, because everyone was “the same”. The citizens couldn’t even look forward to a better life in the “hereafter” because their churches and religions had been taken away from them. Only one cathedral had opened as a place of worship, and it was PACKED.

        This is what is happening to US in the USA! We are losing all of our rights and privileges. Our freedom is gradually being legislated away and we are letting it happen. We will be reduced to the lowest common denominator in the name of equality. Instead, let’s aspire to become the HIGHEST common denominator!

      Maybe if all the dead beats and druggies would get off thier dead beat asses and get some education or take the time to learn a trade they can have a home to live in and maybe even they could make millions. I was a 17 yr union coal miner and voted democrat till Reagan. I saw the light when at the time I was a single person having good ole uncle sam take $11,0000 a year from me to pay for dead beats. Think of all the people I could of kept working or, jobs I could of created by having an extra few grand to spend every year instead of paying uncle sam for dead beats. Now, don’t get me wrong Tim. I know there are people who truley can not work. I have no problem having some of my tax dollars go to help the one’s who truley can not work. Not people who are not willing to work. If they don’t want to work a Mcjob, go back to school. Don’t try to tell me they can’t afford it. Due to the clean air act, the mine I worked for was shut down. I lost 17 yrs with only 3 yrs to retire. at 39 yrs of age, single dad of a then 9 month old son,(lost his mother) and one yr in collage found out I had colon cancer. Guess what Tim Ole boy, I graduated and up till now( laid off at age 55) had been employed as an aircraft inspector. I was in debt from wife, I went further in debt for student loans and still paying but, I recieved an education and recieved my A&P Lic. to work on aircraft. I didn’t sit on my ass and have hard working people support me and my son. I guess what I am saying is,have these poor people who don’t have a home or a lot of money get a fricken job or go back to school. My God man, have you seen the stats on the high school drop out rate. OH! Tim, since I am unemployed now and you seem to love socialisim, what would you think of sharing your home with me and my son. Oh! can you fill the fridge? I want cable too. Also, I’d like to have use of your car on Mondays, weds, and on sat. And, because so many people have so much money and go out to eat,I’d like for you to arrange for me and my son to go out at least once a week. Share the wealth Tim. Just thought of something, If your not willing to share, maybe,just maybe your one of those dead beats who voted for Obama and want socialisim so you can get more free stuff on the backs of hard working people.
      Also, I too am sick and tired of the race card. Do you nut cases realize how many people who are white voted for Obama? And, as far as Fox news, its the only station that tells it like it is. Case in point, their ratings are higher then MSNBC,CNN,CBS all put together. Tim, you need to be more informed. Quit watching just the liberal news media.

      …government must always be limited to a negative power. It is the societal extension of the individual right of self defense. As individuals cannot use force to prevent, promote, or provide, government cannot either. Individuals have no right to force one another to do anything, even if they believe that it is in the victims’ best interests.

      No one takes FOX News seriously?! Is that why FOX News has the most viewers every night? More than the other 3 news stations (CNN,MSNBC, CNBC) combined. Reality check in order!

      Tim:

      You are a Liberal, leftwing ” extremist ” Marxist, Socialist and Communist follower of the ” DICTATOR ” OBAMA. Do you know why your ” hero” is communist? He manipulated Congress through Pelosi, Reid and the Liberal Congress to RAM the Health Care Reform Bill, despite the majority of Americans opposed it. They used all the tricks ” to force the bill to pass, by ” arm twisting, behind closed door deals, bribery, using some kind of a ” sweetheart deals “. Obama, as reported in the medias, ” wanted to take away the wealth of the rich, who worked so hard their whole life; to be given to the lazy, unemployed, the illegals, the welfares. Obama wanted (he must have been doing now )to provide health insurance to 33 millions who are lazy, unemployed, ” some of them are illegals ” at the expense of the working americans. Obama, little by little is changing the American traditions into communistic, socialistic and ” Godless” way of life.
      Tim, you are not welcome here. This a Conservative home. Go to where you belong. If you don’t believe on what we believe, don’t come here next time. I noticed you everytime we have a conservative discussions, you meddled and insult us. Go to your own house.

    • Patriot Marie

      Sorry Tim. Socialist/Marxist is NOT name calling, it IS the Alinsky method that is a fact. Hillary Clinton wrote her Phd. Thesis on Alinsky and President Obama has taught the Alinsky method at the university level and follows it to a ‘T’. It is in total opposition to what our founding fathers wrote into the Constitution, it is in direct opposition to what our military heros have fought for, given their lives for and continue to fight for our country’s freedom. One of those freedoms, unfortunately, is to give people like you a free voice. Tolerance toward you should be given, but your ideas must be weighed carefully. Our Constitution is NOT a ‘living’ document. It is a document for all time. Basic principals therein should never be changed, otherwise it is no longer America. Times change but principals DONOT. My WW2 Purple Heart Hero husband remembers, first hand, what true freedom is worth and how is has been preserved and racism has nothing to do with our evaluation of the person in the oval office. He and ‘his’ will use it, but it is a one way street with them. I agree with Global Mamma, ‘If they don’t like it, leaveit.’

      Being an actor, has nothing to do with the wisdom he is sharing.
      You are diluting his message with tangential issues. That is a ploy for those who have no contribution but want to act like they are important.
      Most ignorant Democrats use that tactic in an attempt to save face when trying to play chess with their checkers mind.

      I too appreciate some of his acting in the past, but this is not about that. This is about Obama / Palosi / Reed RAPING OUR GREAT COUNTRY!

      Read up on the definitions of Marxism, and the Alinsky method. Discuss what the Userper, with less valid papers than his own dog Bo, is doing to our once great country. Be specific, and don’t use tangential issues, like this is on FOX news, or Jon was Bi-Sexual in one of his movie rolls. (See how stupid that is?)

        Hey, “JRBeaman:” “What Obama is doing to our once great country?” You have such hubris! We had a “once great country” until G.W. Bush became President. You have one helluva short memory, pal. Did you forget, already, that “W” & Cheney,” our own home grown ‘axis of evil,’ lied to us about Iraq’s WMD to further his cause to invade. You were duped. Obama & Kennedy did not vote for this war.

        Consequently, because of the incompetent Bush and evil Cheney, we will be fighting terrorism, ad infinitum. Did you also forget that Bush trampled over the Constitution, handed Obama over a trillion dollar deficit, which put this country in an economic abyss before Obama even placed his hand on the Bible, that cold day in January of ’09. Where was your outrage then?

        This may be irrelevant: Jon Voight is not credible, in my opinion, the same as “Mush Limbrain” is not. JV & ML should clean up their own “glass houses” before they throw stones at other’s anyone else’s house.

        Bev—President Bush used information provided by the CIA to make the decision about going to war. The information proved to be inaccurate and President Bush has said this. His decision was the right one given the information he had.

        Whar a dump blind ass you are.

      • Belles

        Actually, Carly is correct. No need to call her names. In fact, it was the same intelligence that was shared to Tony Blaire and other leaders at the time. We weren’t the only ones with misinformation about WMD.

      • baf

        Dearest Bev, They did find some chemicals used in making WMDs in Syria that were moved from Iran a few years ago. CNN reported it in print on the web but it was quickly swept under the rug. It was Clinton that was handed Bin Laden on a silver platter and refused to take him. His administration did not go after the people that bombed any embassy related to Christian based countries. Bush did NOT violate any constitutional law when he took our troupes into Iran. He went to congress, who overwhelmingly voted to take action against a tyrant. Bush was not perfect but he did not break any laws. Can’t say the same for this administration now can you??? And as for the debt in this country…. don’t you dare go there. BO tripled Bushes debt in less than one year. A liberal organization even stated last week that it would take $35,000 per household to get us out of BO’s mess. Get your facts straight before putting them in writing. You hate Bush period! He’s been out of office for well over a year and we are still at war. We will be at war until all the Christians or Muslims are dead. They declared war on us and we, as the greatest nation in the world, have a RIGHT to defend ourselves. I sure as hell would rather fight over on their land than ours. Get realistic Bev. Jon is absolutely correct. We are being raped by the biggest threat to this United States of America and he calls himself a President. He’s not mine!

        Baf,
        Do you really believe all of the nonsense you have written here, or do you just have that much hatred for President Obama. The reason we are in this mess is because Bush failed to understand that there was a problem with the economy. Most of us, in the real world, knew there was a problem back in 2001. Bush, however, was oblivious to the facts. All he ever said on the subject was, “the economy is strong and resilient.” But don’t take my word for it, there is plenty of proof if you care for the truth.

      • dmp says :

        Bev:

        You are blinded by the eloquence of Obama and being duped by his “lies” left and right, here and there and everywhere. You blamed Pres. Bush; don’t you know Pres. Bush is a real American Hero and Patriot? Your Obama as majority of the people claimed ” NOT A BORN AMERICAN “, Was born as a Muslim, born in Kenya and did not even fight for America. About WMD, Saddam Hussein was about to put up all the materials, ingredients to finally perfect the WMD when he was captured. Had Pres. Bush been delayed in getting rid of Hussein, America would have been attacked and bombed by Husseien’s WMD. You said Jon Voight is not credible; what more proofs do need for you to believe that Obama is a liar.One fact is that, during Obama’s promise to America. ” My government will be the most transparent government American ever had ” What happened now, they passed the Health Care Reform Bill behind closed doors and among themselves ( Liberal Democrats )” Twisted some arms ” ” bribed “members of Congress, ” promised them a sweetheart deals”. If I write every tricks the Obama government has fooled Americans; it will take longer than your patience you are having now. Don’t you know that Obama is trying to take away the wealth of the people who work hard through out theirs lives and give them away to people who are lazy, unemployed, the welfare the illegals, he will sacrifice 90% of Americans to save 10% who are lazy and jobless. Are you one of them? If you don’t overhaul your life, your life will remain the same or worse after Obama leaves office. Remember, if you don’t correct your mistakes, others will. That goes to OBAMA and his Croonies.

And as far as Obama and the “war” he recently committed an additional 30,000 troops to Afghanistan. So he’s pulling troops from Iraq and sending them to fight elsewhere.
        And Obama and his minions are headed toward a Socialist government,but to quote Margaret Thatcher..”the problem with Socialsim is that eventually you run out of other people’s money”.
        And when it comes to the current government, if you rob Peter to pay Paul…you can always count on Paul’s vote!

        Bev,
        Where in the world do you get your figures? Do they come straight from the Obama political machine? ACORN? Or do you just pluck them out of your uneducated mind? The man has a clouded history, has spent millions to cover up his birth certificate (born of a Kenyan man, and a British woman, prove me wrong beyond the shadow of a doubt, even his Kenyan family claims that he was born in Kenya), has threatened Congress with vetoing their legislation if they do not follow his Communist/Socialist agenda.
        Birth certificates are basic, you have to show them to get a job, get college loans, get a driver’s license, get a passport, register to vote, enter your child in a public or private school. Also, Obama was not in the U.S. for the required continuous 14 years to be eligible to BE president. I mean, what more do you want? Even if Obama was a natural born U.S. citizen, he wasn’t in country long enough to comply with the United States Codes that determines eligibility for him to run for any office.
        And, America IS a Christian Nation – all our laws are based on the Bible, specifically the Ten Commandments. The Bill or Rights, and the Constitution were taken from English Common law, which was based solely on the Christian Bible. You absolutely cannot deny that.
        I don’t care if the man’s skin color is black, chocolate latte, red or pink, wrong is wrong. Destroying the greatest superpower in the world will lead to America’s downfall – free to other foreign powers to carve up at will. Hope you like his kind of change, because you are going to get a belly full of it, and none of it will be to your liking. I was a Command Master Chief in the US Navy, going for my thirty years. I retired early, just so that idiot cannot order ME around. Many others in the Service are doing the same, or being driven out by the budget cuts you never hear about in the liberally biased media. So, who is going to protect you? I can see war, war against the American people by their own military. I refuse to raise up arms against my own people, even if it is you.
        Millenia ago, Roman matrons told their sons to come back with their shield, or on it (either come back victorious, or come back dead). Later, that tradition declined, and so did Rome. America is facing that same choice, right now. How much time do you think we have left before our country disintegrates – like Rome did? American blood pays for your comfortable lifestyle, you should be more than grateful that some Americans believe in our country, and its traditions. Without them, you would be condemned to the “Third World lifestyle”. Enjoy those thoughts, if you can stomach them.

George W Bush was not a perfect president but had he done nothing about the 9/11 attack, he would’ve been castigated for that so basically he was damned if he did and damned if he didn’t. Obama on the other hand, has lied to the American people and has filled his cabinet with Chicago bullies. I live in Illinois and he did nothing for our state and none of us knew who he was until he campaigned for President. Furthermore, Illinois is known for it’s corruption. And Obama brought it to Washington with him. I challenge all supporters of him to do some deep digging and come up with some true facts. God, I am so glad i didn’t vote for him. And thank God we have a few men and women who are not afraid to speak the truth.

      • rose jepson

        Hi, I have been doing a lot of reading — hindsight reviews. Read what Bush put in place for Obama…Obama and Bush are on the same team–it is not Democratic or Republician — it is all ready for dictatorship and one world government. Bush (2007) put in place directive 51. It is for the (Obama) president to sign for marshal law without congress and makes the president a dictator. Just read (search for Directive 51) and you will be amazed that we (everyone) has no rights, no constitution. Congress cannot do anything for 6 months and then it will be too late. Martial law can take your house or any possessions or move you anyplace, for you to work –anything –it is Martial Law. Do a search for FEMA consentration camps. They are ready for us. Martial Law can be signed in for any reason like riots, economy or terrorism. And, the president, whether it is Bush or Obama, is just a puppet of the real evil people pulling the strings–the world bankers. These evil men have had all the presidents in their pocket; Clinton, Bush, Sr. and I wonder if Regean (unknowingly or maybe he knew) played right along. And, they want to have one world government and will kill most of us. The ones they let live will be for slave labor. I wish what I wrote was just some false rumors, but Directive 51 alone is enought to make me shake with fear. Directive 51 is REAL and is not AMERICA. It will change America to a slave country.

        Bev you are completely misinformed. I’m afraid you’ve given too much credibility to the MSM. The facts are WMD were discovered in Iraq. It was common knowledge that Saddam Hussein had used gas on the Kurds, Iranians and Jews in the past. Before the democrats decided to use our security and the war in order to gain more power, they too stated Iraq had stockpiles of WMD. There are hundreds of quotations to back this up. Ridding the World of Saddam was a positive thing for the Iraqis and the Middle East. Except for GW Bush siding with Kennedy and the democrat Congress and spending way too much money, he did an admiral job. No one would have ever believed in a million years America would not be attacked again following 911. You can thank Bush-Cheney for that. I’m afraid liberals will see the light when once again we are murdered in our sleep due to weakening of our intelligence services by Hussein Obama.

        No president in history was so berated, lied about, called names, or personally assassinated as was Bush. Despite all of the disgusting, derogatoy lies told about him, President Bush continues to exhibit class and honor by refusing to lower himself to the same level as Clinton, Carter, Obama and the entire democrat Congress.

      • RoadracerDan

        Wow Bev, are you really ignorant enough to believe that the war on terrorism is what put our country in this gross financial distress? Pull your head out and look at how Reagan started such an unrecoverable downturn with free trade and union busting.

        What exactly should GW have waited for? Clinton’s bull shit promises of retaliation on several terrorist attacks (2/26/1993 NYC, 6/25/1996 Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, 8/7/98 Nairobi, Kenya, 10/12/2000 USS Cole) were nothing more than promises. GW gets attacked one time (9/11/01 NYC) and steps up to the plate. How proud he must be that we haven’t had a large scale terrorist attack since. MESSAGE SENT!!

        Hey Bev…put the koolaid down hon. Angelina has bashed the a-hole in DC herself. You need to read something more than the Marvel Comic books lining your library shelves.
        Obama is a dirtbag socialist who needs to be stopped. Are you going to help or are you in need of being stopped too? We have plenty of room in our “throw out the trash” dump truck deary. Shall I reserve you a seat?

      • Greg Lyle

        Mike and the “CHIEF” very well said sirs!

      • C Marie

        Bev, You should look into some facts about the Bush administration.
        the president is not the only one to decide on war. He uses information that comes to him from his sources. This was 8th grade basics.
        You, as a democrate should read and educate yourself outside of the liberal media, news reports and magazines. Look into a world wide level of thinking. You will be surprised at what you find is the actual opinion about the American presidents and the freedom we all share.
        We may loose that due to Americans like you!
        Educate yourself on a wider scale.
        Stop stating things that you actually don’t know and read more. You are a product of your Massachusets diet of liberal narrowminded knee jerk reactions.
        As a woman, you are very immature in understanding the whole muslim purpose & undercurrent of the Islamic faith.Read more about this. Obama Hates our nation and it’s “Under God” roots. Obama is charming and Islamic. You fell for it all. We are falling from within. I pray for your eyes of understanding to be opened. Yes I am a democrate and a woman.

        I think Bev should doublecheck the crap she is throwing out. What has been our deficet in the last 12 months? Bush didn’t put us in the mess that has been created in the past 12 or 14 months.
        I don’t think Obama used the bible to swear in for president of the US. Think it was the koran. Check on it.

        I doubt if he is a US citizen. Why spend $950,000 in lawyers to hide where he came from?
        Are you blind Bev? For over 50 years I have put into the Social Security plan and now we have non-americans who have never contributed to SS but are drawing more money than I am. And they are NOT US citizens.
        I’ll grow my own tomatoes thank you.

        And the wicked witch of the west – buys a 747 plane with our money because it is beneath her to stop to fuel on her way home to California. And we pay for her parties on that very same plane. I didn’t sign up for this. $60,000 in just fuel costs for one way.
        Go ahead and call Bush names now. Because obviously you are a democrat and want to see this country go down in flames.

        Christianity? Can’t have prayers by Christians at the White House because it might offend some people of this country but we can have 50,000 muslins praying on our white house lawn.

        Under God is to be stripped from everything to do with this country. Our forefathers based Under God in all they did to build this country. It has worked for over 200 yrs and now some idiot is trying to get rid of it in 12 months.
        we are in need of help

        Why ask Angelina about her father? She is by no means an angel and should not be casting the stone. What she did and is doing now is far worse than her father. She condemned him for the very same thing she has done. Great choice.

        I am not famous or a movie actress but I agree with what Jon is saying. Our president is out to destroy our country.

        Regardless if you like Obama or not, the one thing we do know, and that is that if you voted for him, you are in agreement with be TAXED INTO AN OBLIVIAN!! You are also in agreement with spending that has BANKRUPTED AMERICA!!

      • http://www.personalliberty.com Lisa

        Mr. Voight is on the money. As for Bev and her comment about Angelina – so, you’re going to automatically take the blood vial wearing, husband stealing, tattooed vixen’s side against her father. I’m sorry, but she has all ready proved how nuts she is and if you’re listening to her, you must be just as crazy.

      • Stan

        I just read the post of “BEV”… Check your sources before you speak. “It is better to be tought a fool than to open your mouth and prove it”. You, my uneducated friend, are totally off base and have a very short memory. The fact is that the whole “Democratic Congress” during the G.W. Bush presidency went on record saying that Iraq HAD WMD’s. Shortly after the the invasion these same democratic cowards, Pelosi, Dodd, Schumer etc… started backtracking and denying they had said such things as WMD’s. We did not a trillion dollar deficit in the Bush years. His last budget sent to this weak ass congress was in the neighborhood of 450 billion. Your BOY Obama surpassed that in his first 100 days in office and has put this country in dire straights financially. If it was not for China buying all of our debt we would be in same shape as Greece right now. I suggest that you do some research before you go blabbing and cackling. You need to quit watching ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and MSNBC…There is no truth coming from them. Do your own research!

        To all interested: If I recall recent history, that over the years following the 1st Gulf War, the U.N. inspectors would go to facilities in Iraq that were suspected of producing WMD. Many times they were not allowed in until several days later. This continued to happen even a few months before the 2nd Gulf War in 2003. I think this was a bad mistake. I think that we should have had certain military on hand to barge in and possibly catch the Iraqis “red-handed.” But NO,the U.N. inspectors gave the Iraqis time to either hide or sneak out any material for WMD. Possibly to neighboring countries such as Syria or Iran. Also in the Fall of 2002, 2 North Korean ships were spotted in the Persian Gulf. They claimed to be selling SAM missiles. Funny thing, a few years later, North Korea tested some Nuclear missiles. Gee, where do you suppose they got the material? China, maybe? And how about good old Iran? They have been claiming to have the technology to enrich uranium etc., for the purpose of nuclear energy ONLY? I really have my doubts about that. It is true that G.W. Bush admitted that he was misinformed about the WMD in Iraq. But how can anybody deny the possibility of an evil man such as Saddam Hussein and his goons playing “Hide and Seek” with the rest of the world?

      • skipfoss

        I listened to all that Jon said and nowhere did I hear him mention the as you said the religious right needed to be out of the Republican party ,evidently you listened to a diffrent speech than I did

      • Ken

        Bev, You speak the true in a place that does not want to look at the truth. It’s probably these same people who speak of hate and are insulting when one stands up against them, that stand up in church on Sunday and pretend to be loving and help the poor.

      • http://personallibertydigest DONNA SNYDER

        KEN, GET REAL! GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE SAND, AND PAY ATTENTION, YOU SOUND IGNORANT!

      • Seraphim

        It is sad to hear from liberals saying that conservatives are hateful, violent, and mean – especially at the tea parties. Well, nobody throws glass bottles at the police except a bunch of liberals at a protest here in Phoenix against the anti-immigration bill. Or a member of SEIU(affiliated with ACORN) beating down someone who disagrees with their beliefs. So many times we hear about a group of liberals hating the people who disagree with their views.

        B.O. is PROGRESSIVEly stripping us of what makes our nation great. He is not my president. He does not represent what our nation stands for. He offered us change, but this is not just change, it is destruction!

        Cant wait for midterm elections!!!

      • Marilyn

        Very well said Seraphin.

        I love this country and always felt I had a say in our laws or at least had the opportunity to vote for what I felt was right. It has been fair and just. All you hear now are lies and what we are going to be forced to do without voting on it. And if we don’t do what the democrats say we are to do, pass Go after you pay the fine and head straight to jail. BUT muslins and other NON americans can do what they want without worrying of fines and jail sentences. They do not have to pay taxes or follow the laws. NOT FAIR in this great country.

      • http://www.personalliberty.com Lisa

        Oh my goodness Ken….I stand up in church every Sunday and I try to help people in need but, if you personally decide that you are going to drink, take drugs, not work, etc.. then you should have to live with your choices. I should not have to pay for those who choose to ruin their lives. I sure didn’t work my whole life for what little I do have to be told to give it to everyone else. That’s why I WORKED! None of us are entitled to anything contrary to what is being fed to the American people. I’ll bet you’re one of the ones who feels entitled.

      • Patriot Marie

        Religious Right? That offends me. You must learn to be more ‘politically correct’. We are not supposed to offend others by name calling, flying our flag, or profiling, etc.

      • bob semonasky

        POLITICALLY CORRECT OH WAIT ISN’T THAT WHAT OBAMA’S PEOPLE WANT TO CALL IT NOW. NOT ME!!!!!!

      • http://yahoo.com johnny b

        yeah. it’s all about that black prez and femin-nazi pelosi, huh?
        Rape?
        When Bush left office he handed us an 11 Trillion deficit and two wars, an economy in the [offensive word removed] and everyone paralyzed with fear.
        JR, you’ve got to extract the big, festering ideological bug from your [offensive word removed] and think things through. Unless, of course, you want to have your tea with fellow cretins and continue down the narrow reactionary path of life.

        Warmest and most patriotic wishes. Johnny B

      • Gurly

        Yeah Johnny b pull the race card. You may as well have been the one.Some ignorant —— had to.

        Based on the little I have read about Alinsky his method could be used against Obama just as he is currently using it against us. Ask.com has this to say about Alinsky “Tough, pragmatic and a lover of humanity, Saul Alinsky pioneered a method of helping poor and working-class people organize themselves to improve their communities. Combining urban social theories he had learned at the University of Chicago with street smarts he had earned growing up in that city’s Jewish ghetto, Alinsky first worked in prisons and as a juvenile delinquency researcher. Then, starting in crime-ridden Chicago neighborhoods in the late 1930s, he helped unions, churches and other social groups unite and win everything from jobs to streetlights and garbage collection. He would immerse himself in the neighborhood, listen to ordinary people’s troubles and needs, assess where power lay, and empower previously divided groups to seek common goals by standing up to government and corporate machines. He had little patience for militants, Communists or dreamy liberals, saying he was a community organizer because he believed in American democracy and because “I can’t stand to see people pushed around.”

        So all we need to do is figure how to bridge the divide and make Obama the common enemy and then educate everyone on what action to take to remedy the problem. If not we run the risk of running up against the biblical wisdom Lincoln quoted in his famous house divided speech “A house divided against itself cannot stand,” which is taken from Matthew 12:25: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand.”

        Personally I plan to support LTC Terry Lakin by making a contribution to his legal defense fund at http://www.safeguardourconstitution.com with the hope that in the course of his court martial it will be proven that Obama is inelligible to serve as president and we will be able to remove him from the office.

      I did not realize Jon Voight was a conservative. I will always see him in a different light. Excellent letter. Thank you Jon, for sharing

      Of course, FDR is one of the foremost destroyers of this nation. So, portraying FDR is no feather in his cap.
