"A bureaucrat is the most despicable of men, though he is needed as vultures are needed, but one hardly admires vultures whom bureaucrats so strangely resemble. I have yet to meet a bureaucrat who was not petty, dull, almost witless, crafty or stupid, an oppressor or a thief, a holder of little authority in which he delights, as a boy delights in possessing a vicious dog. Who can trust such creatures?" --- Marcus Tullius Cicero
"Freedom is something that cannot be passed on in the blood stream, or genetically. And it's never more than one generation away from extinction. Every generation has to learn how to protect and defend it, or it's gone and gone for a long, long time. Already, many of us, particularly those in business and industry, there are too many who have switched rather than fight. And it's time that particularly, some of our corporations learned,that when you get in bed with government, you're going to get more than a good night's sleep." --- Ronald Reagan

“Who was the big winner in [Wednesday] night's presidential debate? That would be Joe Wurzelbacher - ‘Joe the Plumber’ - who Sunday demanded that Barack Obama explain why he should pay higher taxes for ‘fulfilling the American dream.’”

As Barack Obama reaped a stunning $150 million in campaign donations in September, bringing his total to more than $600 million, new questions have arisen about the source of his amazing funding.
By Obama’s own admission, more than half of his contributions have come from small donors giving $200 or less. But unlike John McCain’s campaign, Obama won’t release the names of these donors.
A Newsmax canvass of disclosed Obama campaign donors shows worrisome anomalies, including outright violations of federal election laws.
For example, Obama has numerous donors who have contributed well over the $4,600 federal election limit.
Many of these donors have never been contacted by the Obama campaign to refund the excess amounts to them.
And more than 37,000 Obama donations appear to be conversions of foreign currency.

Informational - Educational - Where is the mainstream media?
Listening to the mainstream media these last few days I've learned a few things about the GOP's VP nominee but, I also had to learn a few things on my own.
1. From the media I learned Sarah Palin's husband had a DUI conviction 22 years ago.
* On my own I learned that Ted Kennedy, hero of last month's tribute at the DNC, was drunk while driving a car off a bridge in Chappaquiddick. That same crash killed a young campaign volunteer with whom he was having an affair. Oh, and that woman was pregnant with his child.
* Mr. Palin's (who is not running for office) DUI came a mere 4 years after Barack Obama (who is running for president) stopped using cocaine and marijuana (by his own admission in his autobiography). Shocking - it's OK for the presidential candidate to use drugs or the Dem. party patriarch to kill someone while driving drunk yet a VP candidate should be demonized for something her husband did 22 years ago.
2. From the media I learned that Sarah Palin's daughter is pregnant but not married.
* On my own I learned the Obama's mother was an unmarried street hippy in Honolulu, Hawaii, when she conceived Obama.
* On my own I learned that Joe Biden's (the other VP candidate) son was paid a large amount of money as a consultant to credit card company MBNA. That same company had business before Senator Joe Biden concerning regulation of consumer credit practices. After the company paid a hefty sum to Mr. Biden's son, he voted in favor of legislation to help that company. That same son, Hunter, is also engaged in a legal investigation and suit for defrauding a former business partner. Shocking - it's a crime for the republican VP candidate to have a daughter who's pregnant, even though it's irrelevant to how she performs her job, but it's ok that the democrat presidential candidate's mother conceived him out of wedlock. It's ok, also, for the democrat senator VP candidate to vote in favor of a company that paid his son over a quarter of a million dollars.
3. From the media I learned that Sarah Palin should be considered "selfish" for agreeing to run for VP knowing about her daughter's condition. Knowing that her public role would bring extra scrutiny on the family is selfish and she should have declined in order to protect her child (actually heard this on ABC last weekend).
* Strange - the same people who say Sarah is selfish for running for VP did not seem to care about any impact on Chelsea when Bill Clinton had his dalliance with Monica Lewinsky. That was a private, personal matter you see.
4. From the media I have learned to be "concerned" that Sarah Palin probably won't be able to manage her family and do an effective job of being VP at the same time.
* Funny - I never heard anything about Hillary's ability to support Chelsea while re-doing healthcare or anything from the feminist icons who say you can balance work and family. They also never mention that Barack will have to balance time with his children while meeting with heads of rogue nations or how Joe Biden's kids don't even have a mom and will be fighting for his time while he hosts White House coffee fundraisers and sells nights in the Lincoln bedroom.
5. From the media I have learned that Sarah Palin is "too inexperienced" to be a heartbeat-away from the presidency.
* Apparently taking on corruption in your own party and running a state that's the same size, people-wise, as Delaware (hint hint: that's where Joe Biden is from) is not really experience.
* However, time spent as a "community organizer" and less than 180 days in the senate where you've authored NO significant legislation is just the type of "change" we're looking for from the top of the ticket.
* Funny - inexperience at the top of the ticket is a mantra for "change" and "hope" while strong practical everyday experience, as the #2 is cause for concern.
6. From the media I learned that Sarah Palin's husband once got a ticket for fishing without a license.
* I haven't heard much about the fact that if he were still a practicing attorney, the VP candidate Joe Biden would be disbarred for plagiarism not once but multiple times. It's ok to break the rules if you' re a democrat candidate but not Ok if you are the spouse of a republican candidate.
7. From the media I learned that Sarah Palin doesn't know much about Iraq; in fact we wonder if she even knows where it is.
* Sarah's son volunteered for the US military and is now deployed in Iraq. I guess that doesn't count. Sarah has spent more time with troops in Iraq (as commander of the Alaska National Guard she visited Iraq last year) than Obama has even while running for president. In fact, when Sarah went to Iraq she spent time with the troops. When Obama went there, he skipped a base visit to instead go work out at the Ritz Carlton.
8. From the media I learned that Sarah Palin is a "lightweight" and she better be a "quick study" to keep up with this team.
* Funny, nobody is talking about how, after Barack Obama had "visited 57 states" according to him he only had "5 more to go" or endless other stupid gaffes that expose who he really is.
9. From the media I have learned that (gasp!), Sarah Palin's husband was once a registered member of a 3rd party that favored states' rights (man, this is really bad stuff).
* That same media has been silent to the story that when Barack Obama announced his first senate run, he did so in the home of William Ayers. Mr. Ayers is an un-repentant terrorist convicted for bombing the pentagon. This same Mr. Ayers said on 9/11 that he and his group did not do enough to harm our military and he wished he had done more. During the same time as that comment, he was serving on a board with Barack Obama. All notes and information about their serving together is now locked up by the corrupt Chicago machine and reporter access to those records are being blocked by the Obama campaign.
If we've had any doubts about the bias of the media, it's pretty clear now where they stand. Pass this on to your friends, some of whom may still be on the fence and/or may be getting all of their liberal-biased news/opinions from Katie Couric, Wolf Blitzer, Tom Brokaw and the gang. This is egregious and corrupt. The only way to stop it is to spread information using other outlets and make these guys irrelevant.
Take Down the Bird Feeder
I bought a bird feeder. I hung it on my back porch and filled it with seed. I filled it lovingly and thought, 'What a beautiful bird feeder this is.' Within a week, hundreds of birds took advantage
of the continuous flow of free and easily accessible food.
But then the birds started building nests in the boards of the patio, above the table, and next to the barbecue.Then came the poop. It was everywhere: on the patio tile, the chairs, the table...
everywhere! Then some of the birds turned mean. They would dive bomb at me and even tried to peck me even though I had fed them out of my own pocket.
Others birds were boisterous and loud. They sat on the feeder and squawked and screamed all hours of the day and night. They demanded that I fill it when it got too low on food.
After a while, I couldn't even sit on my own back porch any more. So I took down the bird feeder, and the birds were gone in three days. I cleaned up their mess and took down the many nests they had built all over the patio.
Soon, the back yard was like it used to be... quiet, serene, and no one demanded their rights to a free meal.Now, let's see... Our government gives out free food, subsidized housing, free medical care, and free education and allows anyone born here to be an automatic citizen.
Then the illegals came by the tens of thousands. Suddenly our taxes increased to pay for free services; small apartments are housing 5 families; you have to wait 6 hours to be seen by an
emergency room doctor; your child's 2nd grade class is behind other schools because over half the class doesn't speak English.
Corn Flakes now come in a bilingual box; I have to 'Press one' to hear my bank talk to me in English; and people who wave flags other than 'Old Glory' are squawking and screaming in the streets, demanding more rights and free liberties.
This is just my opinion, but maybe it's time for the government to take down the bird feeder. If you agree, pass it on; if not, continue cleaning up the poop!
