Who Has Won?
Who Has Won?
They said they were going to cause many deaths
And they did in New York , Pennsylvania
Yet twice as many died since fighting the “War on Terror”
Who Has Won?
They said they would bankrupt our country
Ten years of unfunded wars & we’re still not done
And we are all suffocating under the weight of the debt
Who Has Won?
They said they would take away our way of life
After ten years people are still being held - rights none
Patriot Act resulting in many of our freedoms taken away
Who Has Won?
They said they would cause hate and distrust
And make us forget the lessons of the pilgrim
Freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of association
Who Has Won?
They said our country would never be the same
Ten years later look at what we have become
Is this the USA or Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union ?
Who Has Won?
What Have We Become?
How Can This Be Undone?
Let us turn this loss into a win
By remembering the words of Jefferson
And restoring our freedoms and independence
In memory of all who lives were changed or lost on 09.11.01 and since

A Promise Not Kept (Again)
A Promise Not Kept (Again)
So once again the Republicans in Congress say one thing and do another. Not surprisingly they had fewer “no” votes then the Democrats on this latest debt ceiling bill. They voted “yes” in overwhelming numbers. This despite their “Promise to America” to:
“Post all legislative text for three days prior to voting” so members know exactly what they are voting on (who even knows what is really in this bill that no one has ever read – well no one except for Obama and Biden)
Not too mention their promise to “cut spending.” They already showed their true colors when they voted for the Ryan budget that would ad $5 Trillion in red ink in ten years – but as the Washington Post pointed out yesterday, this latest deal will “cut less than 6 percent from federal spending that is already slated to increase (by 63%) from $3.6 trillion to $5.7 trillion by 2021” and “allow $7 trillion to be added to the deficit over the next decade”
Or, how about their promise to fight to “ensure transparency?” Well, this deal and the ones before were done in closed door meetings between just a few representatives. How about opening up these meetings to the press next time so the American people can see you all sitting around a table talking about golf and eating donuts instead of doing your jobs?
Let us not forget they promised to “repeal and replace the job destroying health care law” and to “reduce spending” thru entitlement reform. Well where is any of that in this bill they overwhelmingly supported? All I hear are the crickets chirping as they return home for a 5 week recess.
So in short, once again the Republican’s in Congress come up short, break just about every single promise they offered to the American people to get them elected in 2010 and how are folks going to respond in 2012?
They should respond by joining the Libertarian party (LP.org) and electing real Libertarians to office!

Responce to: The debt deal: Disaster averted, decline straight ahead
An open letter to Matt Miller of the Washington Post concerning his piece The debt deal: Disaster averted, decline straight ahead: http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/the-debt-deal-disaster-averted-decline-straight-ahead/2011/07/31/gIQAWPaCmI_story.html
Dear Mr. Miller,
Thank you for pointing out the obvious (not too mention the total hypocrisy of the two parties that rule) to the American people:
Yes – “the Paul Ryan budget plan (that Republicans overwhelmingly supported) would add $5 trillion in red ink over the next decade”
Yes – “Washington will do nothing more to boost jobs and growth”
Yes – this supposed “deal” would trim “less than 6 percent from federal spending that is already slated to increase (by 63%) from $3.6 trillion to $5.7 trillion by 2021”
Yes – the “deal” will “allow $7 trillion to be added to the deficit over the next decade”
Yes – the “deal” allows congress to “disapprove” future hikes but still allows those hikes to occur
Yes – the “deal” leaves entitlements alone which means our problems will continue to grow
Yes – you are so correct that this is simply “perfect blend of policy punt and political ploy” that “averted disaster only to double down on decline”
And finally, yes, as you say the “only sane agenda (is) — more tax cuts and spending stimulus in the near term, coupled with much more deficit reduction in the long term”
However, Mr. Miller, where you are 100% wrong is when you say “If you’re convinced people have more appetite for these truths than our “leaders” believe, now would be a good time to sign up for Americans Elect’s online nominating convention to put an independent ticket on the ballot that offers an alternative to these continuing charades.”
As you should know this is nothing more than another farce brought to you by the same people who created Unity08. They are NOT a political Party and therefore can NOT offer a true alternative to our two party system. They are a fraud. How can some group who claims to take a member of one bad party mixed with another from the opposite also bad party, create something good? If I scramble one rotted egg with another rotted egg, you still will get sick and die from Salmonella!
The ONLY real alternative is America’s third largest political party - the Libertarian Party (http://www.lp.org/) - which has been around for almost 40 years successfully electing people to office. This is the only party that truly stands for less government and more freedom!

Food for Thought
Interesting opinion pc:
“The House Republican budget adds $6 trillion to the debt in the next decade yet the GOP is balking at raising the debt limit”

When Does $38B = $352M?
Q) When Does $38B = $352M?
A) When the R’s and D’s get together on a “budget compromise” - Typical Washington Math!
