Michele, you sure know how to spend taxpayers money.  How did you manage to get along before you were in the While House and had access to taxpayers’ money for your personal staff?  Another somewhat unrelated question is why don’t you, President Obama, the Senate and Congress have to use the nationalized insurance that is going to be pushed through the Senate and Congress?  Why is it that there is a “special” insurance package for you, your family, Congress and the Senate

Al Gore is the poster kid for climate control and making sure everyone reduces their carbon footprint.  It takes approximately $30,000 to keep Mr. Gores house nice and toasty, heat his giant swimming pool and keep his milk cold in his refrigerator.  This is just for his house at 312 Lynnwood Blvd.,  in the City of Belle Meade (a neighbor of Nashville), TN. Does Gore fly on commercial airlines.  No.  He does not have to because he owns a nice and shiny Gulfsteam jet.   I think he should give back his Academy Award for his documentary “An Inconvenient Truth.”

There are good scientists on both sides of the green house emissions issue.  I have my doubts about peoples effect on global warming.  I agree with the scientists that tell us that 95% of global warming is just the evolution of the earth. 

No one is all bad.  Obama does occasionally do things right. I’m amazed at Obama’s decision to send 30,000+ troops to Afghanistan.  This has taken tremendous courage on Obama’s part.  He has angered his support on the far left for the good of our soldiers in Afghanistan for the good of the American People.  Read the idiotic open letter below from Michael Moore (MM) to President Obama.  The letter is important for what it does not say.  For one, it appears that Michael Moore is not getting enough attention so he makes it an open letter. The second thing I would like to point out is the illogical things he says in the letter.  If Michael gets enough publicity from this letter we will surely see another one of his fake documentaries on the big screen.  MM is somewhat like an M&M, thin candy coating outside and full of brown stuff in the inside.  My comments pertaining to some of his more stupid comments are noted by “TP” and presented in bold type. 

Dear President Obama,

Do you really want to be the new “war president”?

TP – Come on Michael.  No president wants to be a “War president.”  But, we do have to defend our country and our way of life, so you can drive your big fancy car and project the image of being a defender of the poor.  Here is a quote from you recently: 

“I’m a millionaire, I’m a multi-millionaire. I’m filthy rich. You know why I’m a multi-millionaire? ‘Cause multi-millions like what I do.” (from brainyquote.com). MM, You are a hypocrite.

If you go to West Point tomorrow night (Tuesday, 8pm) and announce that you are increasing, rather than withdrawing, the troops in Afghanistan, you are the new war president.

TP – I you were not so stupid you would know that life is not as simple as you project it to be. You use words to inflame such as “you are the new war president.”  I am sure you have put this in your 3×5 card index for a future movie.

Pure and simple. And with that you will do the worst possible thing you could do — destroy the hopes and dreams so many millions have placed in you.

TP – So tell us MM how is Obama destroying “hopes and dreams” by protecting our way of life.  You do not have the advisors that the President has, you do not get the intelligence reports the president gets, and you do not have the responsibility of the entire nation on your shoulders.  Most of us are getting wise to you.  MM, you shoot your mouth off to make more controversies so you can mold them into another movie or book to add to your millions in the bank.  Why don’t you give your millions of dollars away to the needy.  You don’t need it.  You hate capitalism.  What do you do with all of your money you make from selling your books and movies using the capitalistic system?

With just one speech tomorrow night you will turn a multitude of young people who were the backbone of your campaign into disillusioned cynics.

TP – MM, only the multitudes of young people that are not informed and not logical.  There is a great line from Wizard of OZ that goes, “What would you do with a brain if you had one.”  This is my question to you MM.  The world is not black and white MM.  You seem to think the people who elected Obama are stupid.  They will not automatically become disillusioned cynics because you say it is so.  You may think your are the messiah, but you are just a pudgy little film maker that makes money off of people’s fears.  

You will teach them what they’ve always heard is true — that all politicians are alike.

TP – This one-act by Obama does nothing to support your phrase “all politicians are alike.”  You are making a simplistic and over-reaching assumption.  I must admit you are one of the best at this.

I simply can’t believe you’re about to do what they say you are going to do. Please say it isn’t so.

TP – Too much drama here MM.  Just stick to the facts, the real facts.

It is not your job to do what the generals tell you to do. We are a civilian-run government.

TP – Politicians make wars that our military have to fight.  You have not basis of understanding the war decisions that Obama has to make.  Only a foolish president would not listen to his generals.  It sounds as if you want President Obama to make the decision sitting in the White House without input from his generals.  This would be stupid.  But course me may not be as smart as you.

WE tell the Joint Chiefs what to do, not the other way around. That’s the way General Washington insisted it must be. That’s what President Truman told General MacArthur when MacArthur wanted to invade China. “You’re fired!,” said Truman, and that was that.

TP – If you have been watching the news rather than sitting at home watching your movies over and over you would have seen that the president wisely took the advice of his generals, the advice of his war council and HE made the decision.

And you should have fired Gen. McChrystal when he went to the press to preempt you, telling the press what YOU had to do. Let me be blunt: We love our kids in the armed services, but we f*#&in’ hate these generals, from Westmoreland in Vietnam to, yes, even Colin Powell for lying to the UN with his made-up drawings of WMD (he has since sought redemption).

TP – you can always tell a person that pretends to be smart is really dumb when he has to resort to words above like “f*&in’.”  Do you do this because you think it is cute or is it because you just can’t come up with the right word? You hate generals?  These brave men have dedicated their lives to the United States so people like you can be free to make your millions and constant blow hot air.

So now you feel backed into a corner. 30 years ago this past Thursday (Thanksgiving) the Soviet generals had a cool idea — “Let’s invade Afghanistan!” Well, that turned out to be the final nail in the USSR coffin.

TP – You are correct on this one (unlike you, I will give credit where credit is due) but this is a different time, different circumstances, different people.  Heraclitus (MM he is a well-known philosopher) once said “A man never steps into the same stream twice.  The man is never the same man and the stream is never the same stream.”  Do you remember “9/11″ where 3,000 people died?  You probably don’t. 

There’s a reason they don’t call Afghanistan the “Garden State” (though they probably should, seeing how the corrupt President Karzai, whom we back, has his brother in the heroin trade raising poppies). Afghanistan’s nickname is the “Graveyard of Empires.” If you don’t believe it, give the British a call. I’d have you call Genghis Khan but I lost his number.

TP – This is not a laughing issue, so your joke about Genghis Khan falls flat.  Refer to the Heraclitus quote above. 

I do have Gorbachev’s number though. It’s + 41 22 789 1662. I’m sure he could give you an earful about the historic blunder you’re about to commit.

TP – Wow MM.  Please again refer to the Heraclitus quote above.

With our economic collapse still in full swing and our precious young men and women being sacrificed on the altar of arrogance and greed, the breakdown of this great civilization we call America will head, full throttle, into oblivion if you become the “war president.”

TP – This your opinion MM.  You have never fought in combat.  You have never had to be responsible for millions of lives.  You only inflame to make movies.  My son, SSG Darrell Griffin, Jr.  was a soldier that gave his life in Iraq.  He understood the Iraqi people.  He understood freedom is not free.  Since you hate capitalism so much, I can send you a list of countries that are not capitalistic.  Oh ya, you will have to give up your millions of dollars if you want to live in one of them.  And oh ya, you will not have the freedom of speech that you have in this country to make your inflammatory films and write your hateful books.  Do you have any other skills that you could use to make a living in one of these other countries?

 Empires never think the end is near, until the end is here. Empires think that more evil will force the heathens to toe the line — and yet it never works. The heathens usually tear them to shreds.

TP – Are you aware that radical Islamist have been attacking the US since the end of WWII?  Remember the Beirut Barracks bombing, the USS Cole, the first WTC bombing, the last WTC bombing?  Laying down our arms as you suggest would only encourage them to push even harder to over throw our country. 

Choose carefully, President Obama. You of all people know that it doesn’t have to be this way. You still have a few hours to listen to your heart, and your own clear thinking. You know that nothing good can come from sending more troops halfway around the world to a place neither you nor they understand, to achieve an objective that neither you nor they understand, in a country that does not want us there. You can feel it in your bones.

TP – MM, you have no basis for your comments.  They are simplistic and without foundation, just more of your nonsense rhetoric.  MM, you need to start being factual in your rants.  You are fast becoming irrelevant to thinking patriots.

I know you know that there are LESS than a hundred al-Qaeda left in Afghanistan!

TP – Stop the press, stop the generals, stop the president.  MM says there are only 100 al-Qaeda in Afghanistan!  Before we start sending all our troops home we should probably verify where you got your information.  MM, this statement only shows you are more stupid than I thought.

A hundred thousand troops trying to crush a hundred guys living in caves? Are you serious? Have you drunk Bush’s Kool-Aid? I refuse to believe it.

TP – Wow MM! Only 100 guys living in caves?  What have you been smoking MM?

Your potential decision to expand the war (while saying that you’re doing it so you can “end the war”) will do more to set your legacy in stone than any of the great things you’ve said and done in your first year. One more throwing a bone from you to the Republicans and the coalition of the hopeful and the hopeless may be gone — and this nation will be back in the hands of the haters quicker than you can shout “tea bag!”

TP – MM who are the haters?  From your rants and ravings, your films and books I think you have established yourself as the captain of the hater team.  If the shoe fits put it on.  And I am sure it is a nice snug fit for you.

Choose carefully, Mr. President. Your corporate backers are going to abandon you as soon as it is clear you are a one-term president and that the nation will be safely back in the hands of the usual idiots who do their bidding. That could be Wednesday morning.

TP – MM, it is not the “corporate backers” as you call them, but the people of the United States that elected Obama.  I am confused.  Are you telling Obama that he should pander to his corporate backers?  Wow,  MM you are confused.

We the people still love you. We the people still have a sliver of hope. But we the people can’t take it anymore. We can’t take your caving in, over and over, when we elected you by a big, wide margin of millions to get in there and get the job done. What part of “landslide victory” don’t you understand?

TP – MM, cry babies like you call it caving in if Obama does not agree with you.  He is not just your president.  Even though I did not vote for him he is still my president.  He is doing what he feels is good for the country in this particular instance and he is not doing this for political reasons.  If you are shallow enough to judge his presidency from such a narrow view-point then take off your blinders.

Don’t be deceived into thinking that sending a few more troops into Afghanistan will make a difference, or earn you the respect of the haters. They will not stop until this country is torn asunder and every last dollar is extracted from the poor and soon-to-be poor.

TP – I can send you an address where you can send your millions of dollars and they will see it gets fairly distributed to the poor. 

You could send a million troops over there and the crazy Right still wouldn’t be happy. You would still be the victim of their incessant venom on hate radio and television because no matter what you do, you can’t change the one thing about yourself that sends them over the edge.

TP – “their incessant venom on hate radio and television” as you call it is free speech in action.  I have heard a lot more venom fall from your fangs that any talk show host I have heard.  You are so hateful that you are soon going to be irrelevant.

The haters were not the ones who elected you, and they can’t be won over by abandoning the rest of us.

President Obama, it’s time to come home. Ask your neighbors in Chicago and the parents of the young men and women doing the fighting and dying if they want more billions and more troops sent to Afghanistan.

TP – MM, I am a parent of a soldier that lost his life fighting in Iraq.  So if you want him to ask the soldiers I can answer for my son, and many other soldiers.  After my son was killed I was allowed to embed with my son’s combat unit in Baghdad to complete a book we were working on.  100% of these brave soldiers felt what they were doing was right.  Americans and in particular our soldiers want to win and leave, not abandon the people of Afghanistan and Iraq.  Sure the soldiers questioned our being in Iraq and Afghanistan, but they still fight for the freedoms we have in this country.  It is people like you that sadden our troops with your nonsense.  Read “Last Journey.”  This is the book my son and I wrote.  It will tell you how our brave and thinking patriot soldiers feel about what they are doing.   

Do you think they will say, “No, we don’t need health care, we don’t need jobs, we don’t need homes. You go on ahead, Mr. President, and send our wealth and our sons and daughters overseas, ’cause we don’t need them, either.”

TP – MM stay on the subject.  You are talking about the war.  Healthcare and jobs are important but do not confuse the issue you are addressing here. 

What would Martin Luther King, Jr. do? What would your grandmother do? Not send more poor people to kill other poor people who pose no threat to them, that’s what they’d do. Not spend billions and trillions to wage war while American children are sleeping on the streets and standing in bread lines.

TP – MM, obviously you did not do your homework on this issue.  The military demographics pretty much reflect the demographics of our U.S. population.  Our military goes to great lengths to make sure this is so.  We are all concerned about American Children sleeping in the streets and people standing in bread lines.  But, you use them to support your views on the war.  You do this because you know people are emotional about these issues.  These are important issues but shame on you for using their images to support your weak argument against Obama sending more troops to Afghanistan. 

All of us that voted and prayed for you and cried the night of your victory have endured an Orwellian hell of eight years of crimes committed in our name: torture, rendition, suspension of the bill of rights,

TP – MM, more of your hate speech.  There was no torture on our part. What about the beheadings by the insurgents, the insurgents killing innocent people with suicide bombers?  MM, the Bill of Rights is still in place.  Why did you not capitalize the “Bill of Rights” in your letter?  Was it a Freudian slip?

invading nations who had not attacked us,

TP – We did not attack ourselves on 9/11 MM.

blowing up neighborhoods that Saddam “might” be in (but never was)

TP – MM, I don’t know if anyone told you but we did get Saddam.

, slaughtering wedding parties in Afghanistan.

TP – Do you remember Uday and Qusay, Saddam’s sons?  They used to go down the bridle roles of couples getting married to have “fun” with the bride to be.  This is one of many ways they got there kicks.  Are you defending their behavior?  Are you suggesting that we should have left them alone to their evil devices?

We watched as hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians were slaughtered and tens of thousands of our brave young men and women were killed, maimed, or endured mental anguish — the full terror of which we scarcely know.

TP – Our soldiers have found hundreds of mass-graves from Saddam’s evil rain.  We have witnesses thousands of innocent Iraq’s and Afghan’s die from suicide bombers.  Are you suggesting we should turn our backs on them?

When we elected you we didn’t expect miracles. We didn’t even expect much change. But we expected some. We thought you would stop the madness. Stop the killing. Stop the insane idea that men with guns can reorganize a nation that doesn’t even function as a nation and never, ever has.

TP – Bad guys usually have guns (al Quada, Taliban, etc) so good guys have to use guns to protect innocent people from bad guys with guns.  MM, I hope this explanation was simple enough for you.

Stop, stop, stop! For the sake of the lives of young Americans and Afghan civilians, stop.

TP – you are not being consistent.  Above you said Afghanistan has never been organized.  We are helping the Afghan people.  You are suggesting we abandon them, that we have no responsiblity to help the countries of the world out that has oppressive regimes that kill its people.  American is strongest country on the earth and we have a responsibility to use this strength for world good.  We can not turn our heads and ignore the raping, murdering acts of repressive regimes and organizations like al queda and the taliban.

For the sake of your presidency, hope, and the future of our nation, stop. For God’s sake, stop.

Tonight we still have hope.

Tomorrow, we shall see. The ball is in your court. You DON’T have to do this. You can be a profile in courage. You can be your mother’s son.

TP – MM, I will debate you anywhere any time.  If this is too much for you I will arrange for my 13 year-old son to debate you.

We’re counting on you.

Yours,
Michael Moore

California is a great place to live; great weather, lots of things to do and it has something for everyone.  California has more people than any other state in the Union with almost 37 million people.  California could be a stand-alone country with the eighth-largest economy in the world.  Most countries would love to have what California has to offer; billions of barrels untapped oil off the coast, some of the busiest ports in the world, and is one of the richest agricultural producers in the world.  But California is headed for total chaos and a possible total meltdown. 

California  has politicians that are only interested in getting re-elected and thus will not make any hard decisions.  Here is the basic philosophy that serves as a foundation for most  California politicians:

They assume all businesses are evil and ripping off their constituents.

They kick the rich people in the gut  (they feel it is a sin to enjoy the fruits of your labors and all rich people are glutens and oppressors of the poor) because this gets them more votes.

They are only interested in giving out entitlements because this gets them more votes.

California Legislators are driving California into bankruptcy.  I for one would not give a thought to investing in California bonds.  They are now rated as junk bonds by security rating organizations.  Consider these following facts:

Anywhere from 3 to 6 million illegal aliens burden the state’s health, welfare and criminal justice systems.  Most illegal residents do not pay state income taxes, while participating in entitlements and burden the legal system at rates far greater than their percentage of the population.

California ranks between 47^th and 49^th in the ranking of our nations public schools.  This is bad because the long term prosperity of California and our country is directly tied to the quality of education system.

California runs the largest, most expensive and most recidivism-prone prison systems in the country.  Over 20% of the people in our prisons are illegal aliens. 

More than half of all of California public employees are unionized.  Our state’s workers are among the highest paid in the nation, yet California is going bankrupt.  A quick example is one city nurse that was paid $350,000 a year. 

California is actually losing population each year at the rate of about 150,000 per year.  This fact by itself is not really alarming.  What is alarming is the composition of the net loss.  California has a huge number of illegal immigrants that put a burden on California’s entitlement and legal resources and a big number of people that pay taxes leaving the state.  Many of the taxpayers leaving the state are unhappy at the ever increasing higher taxes and are just plain tired of the increasing government regulation.  California is one of the least small business friendly states in the Country and small business generates 75% of all jobs nationwide.  Stated a different way California has been experiencing a huge increase in people that do not pay taxes and over burden our health and legal systems and at the same time is experiencing an increasing number of people leaving the state that pay taxes.  Pretty soon California is going to run out of people to tax.  Here is a statistic that will fortify this analysis:  144,000 of California’s wealthiest residents – less than half of one percent of California’s population pays almost half of the state’s income taxes.  These are the same people that are leaving the state.  California is losing the taxpayers that pay for the increasing entitlements to the increasing number of people that do not pay taxes. 

The bottom line is California legislators are pandering to the people of the state that expect and receive entitlements while at the same time vilifying the people who pay the taxes to support these entitlements.  It does not take a rocket scientist to do the math that if your vote getting entitlements keep increasing and your taxpaying citizens keep decreasing Californa will run out of its source of revenues. Maybe California citizens should elect legislators that are not idiots or maybe the democratic system is flawed.  Legislators have to pander to the large base of voters that want entitlements and thus will only introduce and approve more entitlements and more taxation of people that have saved, worked hard and bettered themselves.  It appears on the surface that crash of the system is inevitable.    What makes this situation scarier is that California’s woes are prophetical of what is happening to America.  We need to kick the concept of political correctness in the butt and realize that we should not be spending more than we have as individuals and as a country.

There is a sense of entitlement that is sweeping the country.  Our federal government is increasing our national debt by trillions to pay for things the entitlement prone citizens are demanding and the government can’t afford.  I am personally ashamed that we are doing this and burdening our children and grandchildren with the cost of the things we are demanding now.   

The four Blackwater were ambushed and killed by gunfire and grenades. Insurgents burned the bodies and dragged them through the city. They showed off the remains of the four Americans by hanging two of the bodies on a bridge over the Euphrates River for the world press to photograph.  It enrages me that this terrorist, responsible for killing and brutally mutilating four Americans can end the career of these three heroes because he got a bloody lip.  He is alive to tell his story, the four Americans are not.

Reason #1 - The Obama adminstration made a big deal about the AMA approving Obamacare.  This was a “card trick” because they are smart enough to know that most doctors do not belong to the AMA. Shame on them.

1.  AMA SUPPORT FOR OBAMA CARE

 Only 17% of the nations doctors are members of the AMA

Most of AMA’s members do not see patients.  They are school professors and retired doctors. 

In the 1970’ 70% of doctors belonged to AMA.  This was due in part to the fact that the AMA fighting to keep the government out of healthcare.  I am a Christian but I am getting fighting made that the Obama administration is trying their best to make America a socialist country.  We are not a socialist country.  Direct your friends to this blog so we can make a statement to the Obama Adminstration.
