"Daily Motivations"

If you will spend an extra hour each day of study in your chosen field, you will be a national expert in that field in five years or less. -- Earl Nightingale

I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs. - President Thomas Jefferson

"I trust that the proposed Constitution afford a genuine specimen of representative government and republican government; and that it will answer, in an eminent degree, all the beneficial purposes of society." - Alexander Hamilton


"This election year has generated a lot of talk about the role of America's military in the Middle East. Less frequently does the conversation turn to what's really at the heart of the matter whether we, as Americans,are committed to a world blessed with freedom for all humankind... Our warriors understand that America has a special calling to promote freedom and democracy. In the words of one Marine, 'the United States is a beaconof light, whether we want to admit it or not.'... Our Declaration of Independence cites freedom as an unalienable right, not just for Americans but for all human beings. Our way of life, our very right to exist, is the 'everything' for which our service men and women are willing to give so much of themselves. They fight to defend America's freedoms, and they fight to grant the gift of freedom worldwide." --- Rebecca Hagelin



"The Gathering Storm" - Folks, this is a publication from whom I believe is one of the most honorable US Senators ever, in the history of America. - oyh

Hugo Chavez said over the weekend that he will accept Russia’s help in developing a nuclear reactor. “In Venezuela we are interested in development of nuclear energy, of course for peaceful purposes, for medical purposes, for purposes of electricity generation…Brazil has various nuclear reactors, so does Argentina. We will have ours,” he told a rally of Communists and others hostile to the U.S. Chavez will also visit Belarus and Iran.

In addition to announcing plans to loan $1 billion to Venezuela, Russia outlined a plan to expand its army and nuclear capacity as part of an urgent effort to upgrade its military capabilities. The plan calls for mass production of nuclear submarines and building “an air- and space-defense system.”

Yesterday, Iran insisted it would continue to enrich uranium despite condemnation from the United Nations Security Council. “Enrichment is our right and we believe that suspension is an illegal request. We will continue on our path in a normal way,” Hassan Ghashghavi, the foreign ministry spokesman said.

U.S. Ambassador to Iraq, Ryan Crocker, accused Tehran of trying to keep Iraq “off balance” so that it can control the situation there. He added the Americans need to view Iraq with “a sense of strategic patience” adding, “All Americans should be and are proud of the achievements in Iraq and the American role in bringing about the change,” he said. “Iraq is in a far, far better place than it was say 18 months ago.”



"The e-mail Bag"

NEW PREAMBLE TO THE CONSTITUTION This is probably the best e-mail I've seen in a long, long time. The following has been attributed to State Representative Mitchell Kaye from GA. This guy should run for President one day...

'We the sensible people of the United States, in an attempt to help everyone get along, restore some semblance of justice, avoid more riots, keep our nation safe, promote positive behavior, and secure the blessings of debt-free liberty to ourselves and our great-great-great-grandchildren, hereby try one more time to ordain and establish some common sense guidelines for the terminally whiny, guilt ridden, delusional, and other liberal bed-wetters. We hold these truths to be self evident: that a whole lot of people are confused by the Bill of Rights and are so dim they require a Bill of NON-Rights.'

ARTICLE I: You do not have the right to a new car, big screen TV, or any other form of wealth. More power to you if you can legally acquire them , but no one is guaranteeing anything.

ARTICLE II: You do not have the right to never be offended. This country is based on freedom, and that means freedom for everyone -- not just you! You may leave the room, turn the channel, express a different opinion, etc.; but the world is full of idiots, and probably always will be.
ARTICLE III: You do not have the right to be free from harm. If you stick a screwdriver in your eye, learn to be more careful; do not expect the tool manufacturer to make you and all your relatives independently wealthy.

ARTICLE IV: You do not have the right to free food and housing. Americans are the most charitable people to be found, and will gladly help anyone in need, but we are quickly growing weary of subsidizing generation after generation of professional couch potatoes who achieve nothing more than the creation of another generation of professional couch potatoes .

ARTICLE V: You do not have the righ t to free health care. That would be nice, but from the looks of public housing, we're just not interested in public health care..

ARTICLE VI: You do not have the right to physically harm other people. If you kidnap, rape, intentionally maim, or kill someone, don't be surprised if the rest of us want to see you fry in the electric chair.

ARTICLE VII: You do not have the right to the possessions of others. If you rob, cheat, or coerce away the goods or services of other citizens, don't be surprised if the rest of us get together and lock you away in a place where you still won't have the right to a big screen color TV or a life of leisure.
ARTICLE VIII: You do not have th e right to a job.. All of us sure want you to have a job, and will gladly help you along in hard times, but we expect you to take advantage of the opportunities of education and vocational training laid before you to make yourself useful. (AMEN!)

ARTICLE IX: You do not have the right to happiness. Being an American means that you have the right to PURSUE happiness, which by the way, is a lot easier if you are unencumbered by an over abundance of idiotic laws created by those of you who were confused by the Bill of Rights.

ARTICLE X: This is an English speaking country. We don't care where you are from, English is our language. Learn it or go back to wherever you came from! (Lastly....)

ARTICLE XI: You do not have the right to change our country's history or heritage. This country was founded on the belief in one true God. And yet, you are given the freedom to believe in any religion, any faith, or no faith at all; with no fear of persecution. The phrase IN GOD WE TRUST is part of our heritage and history, and if you are uncomfortable with it, TOUGH!!!! GET OVER IT !!!

If you agree, share this with a friend. No, you don't have to, and nothing tragic will befall you if you don't. I just think it's about time common sense is allowed to flourish. Sensible people of the United States speak out because if you do not , you know who will?
