<p>Research for this post was found on <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/03/06/rutgers-faculty-protest-condoleezza-rice-as-commencement-speaker/" title="FoxNews.com" target="_blank">FoxNews.com</a> AND on <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/03/17/condoleezza-rice-rutgers_n_4980826.html" title="HuffingtonPost.com." target="_blank">HuffingtonPost.com.</a><br></p>
<p>It pains me to slap racial labels on anyone as I feel we must strive to be a post-racial America, but Condoleezza (Condi) Rice served this nation as its first black female U.S. Secretary of State. Yes, and Rutgers University is thinking about disinviting her from speaking at their commencement ceremony, May 18! As hard as it is to believe, their “New Brunswick Faculty Council” passed a resolution which asks the board of governors to take back its invitation to Ms. Rice to speak there, in Piscataway, N.J.</p>
<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src="https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQXQrSnPX-9fpo8YtLE1DoLWDukeCYxByEClkGFp1N5_G_7DVCo" title="Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice" alt="Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice"><br>Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice</div>
<p>Several radical faculty members of the university disagree with her politics. They say she’s a bad role model for students. The fact that a black woman (Condi) can ascend to one of the highest positions in government qualifies her as a role model for everyone, doesn’t it? I call their refusal to let her speak "ideological bigotry." It’s fascism at its best, silencing the other side, not allowing freedom of thought and open debate.</p>
<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src="https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR2Vk82kKp-w-FSP2fl0yPt-UQY-X1BB11DYD3AdfQcsPLQr2WJ " title="Condi Rice at the White House podium." alt="Condi Rice at the White House podium."><br>Condi Rice at the White House podium.</div>
<p>In 2006, when Rice spoke at Boston College, many students and faculty protested her appearance with signs and showed disrespect by turning their backs on her as she spoke. Shame on them. In America we should show respect for all, but not the Neo-Left. They only show respect for those with whom they agree. For example, if we slip once, and call President Obama “Obama,” those on the left protest, and say we are being disrespectful.</p>
<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src=" https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQQAqlha1NmE8tBHBjbGruAsko8LvQ0cHXpN0hVEdE5c5WCsrco" title="The Secretary of State on ‘This Week’" alt=" The Secretary of State on ‘This Week’"><br>The Secretary of State on ‘This Week’</div>
<p>Using the illogic of progressive radicals, one must sarcastically ask, “Is this racism from the left?” It’s not, but I revel in the hypocrisy. If a university did the same for <i>Susan</i> Rice (also a black woman, no relation to Condi), who serves the Obama Administration as National Security Advisor, it would also not be racist, but the mainstream media would scream racism from the highest yardarm, and probably call for the firings to begin. Al Sharpton and the race-baiters would exclaim something like, “There they go again!” Where’s Jesse Jackson’s rainbow coalition now? The left says they stand up for all minorities. Well, not <i>all</i> members of the minority community, I suppose.</p>
<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSMnpe92amDYVfP_j-3C4SL1J9xgPR5Qc1udE_Sm0O7nAjitpvXSQ" title="Speech! Speech!" alt=" Speech! Speech!"><br> Speech! Speech!</div>
<p>No defense, no, not for a sharp, conservative thinker, like Condi Rice. Oh, no. The free-speech deniers will likely have their way. No open minds at Rutgers, no! Free-thinking is not allowed there. Students must only be exposed to progressive thinking, lest they actually <i>understand</i> conservative thought. And that frightens them. A lot.</p>
<p>Quiz: Q.) What happened when a black person was forcibly denied entry to an American university in 1963? A.) President John F. Kennedy federalized the Alabama National Guard and ordered Gov. George Wallace (D-AL), to stop blocking the entrance, and allow the black students to enter.</p>

<p>I tried to sell Amway products once, but because I am not an effective salesman, my efforts failed. However, while trying, I purchased some motivational tapes from the company. I didn’t like many but I loved one of them. I learned a lot from it and listened often. One of the two founders of the Amway Corporation, Rich DeVos, spoke in front of a group of about 1,800 young people at the 23rd annual Junior Achievers conference sometime in 1966. You may object to his attitude, and DeVos might not say things the same way today, but the message is “boss, man!”</p>
<p>Last time I ended Part III by saying that Mr. DeVos appreciated the work of the garbage men (now known as ‘sanitation workers’) who came to his house. Here’s his depiction of when he met them one morning… and more…</p>
<p>Rich DeVos, Part IV:</p>
<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src="https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcThuSkxDiNWKp9F8RJ54AR6Qxs74tVLm521-qtDdDNHqjzQNjK2" title="Selling America, by Rich DeVos." alt="Selling America, by Rich DeVos."><br>Selling America, by Rich DeVos.</div>
<p>…I had an interesting experience because - - I like garbage men. You wouldn't believe that. Yeah, you can tell that… I’ll tell you that.</p>
<p>But I went out… For four weeks in a row… This fellow comes by at 6:30 in the morning… Because I wanted to meet him I said, “Hi, how are you this morning? I just came out to tell you I appreciate your coming…”</p>
<p> He looked at me and he said, “Are you just getting up, or are you just coming in?” (laughter) He wasn’t sure…</p>
<p>I said, “No, no, really – I just came out to say, ‘hello.’” I said, “I appreciate your coming by."</p>
<p>[To the kids in the audience] Now, if you don’t think you appreciate his coming by (your home) you just let him skip you a couple times. (laughter) You’ll find out how important he is in your life. (laughter)</p>
<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src="http://jp2.r0tt.com/l_5f727e30-a85c-11e1-972b-6fe6ad600002.jpg" title="Inspirational quote, by Rich DeVos." alt=" Inspirational quote, by Rich DeVos."><br> Inspirational quote, by Rich DeVos.</div>
<p> You know about the fourth time I went out there I said, “I'm just coming out to say hello again. I really mean it. I appreciate your coming. Do you realize how important the work is that you do? What it does for the sanitation of this community? How it protects the health and well-being of all the people?</p>
<p> And he says, “Well, I’ll be damned!” (laughter, then applause)</p>
<p>[To the kids in the audience] Now, I don’t like to use that language, but I portray to you his attitude. He said, “I’ve been picking up garbage for years, man. <b>Nobody</b> ever told <b>me</b> that!” (mild laughter)</p>
<p>And, I’d say to you, “Isn’t it too bad that a fellow American, who’s doing what he’s able to do has had no one tell him how important his work is?</p>
<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src="https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTNvF3fRsKrubvdC-sGmCDrQ4PIym_HBefk9IGLe84xZsByN9bDtQ" title="Rich DeVos, a winner’s smile." alt=" Rich DeVos, a winner’s smile."><br> Rich DeVos, a winner’s smile.</div>
<p>He [the man picking up garbage] says [to Rich DeVos], you know, “You’re one in a million.” (To the audience:) Well, I don’t <b>want</b> to be one in a million, and I ask you as you go on to positions of leadership to join me in a crusade of respectability for all your fellow Americans. And I hope you go on to college and get a Ph.D. or whatever it is you’re seeking. But I hope you'll always remember that it doesn’t make you better than the next guy. – It gives you greater <i>responsibility</i>.</p>
<p> I marvel at the Ph.D. who works for us, and he’s a wonderful man. I look at the chemist we have and I notice how helpless they are when it comes to emptying the wastebasket.</p>
<p>And then I look at the people who come to work and [they] work on the line and I look at the school bus driver. Well [some people say], <i>“he’s just a bus driver.”</i> And the other people say, “Well, he’s <i>just</i> a businessman.” “He’s <b>just</b> a salesman.” Will we eradicate the word <i>‘just’</i> from your vocabulary? <b>Nobody</b> is <b>just</b> an <b>anything</b>! He’s a man or a woman doing what he knows how to do best. <i>That’s the real sign</i>.</p>
<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src="https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTfXMlW6g9qSiUypNxaP-7-W5WIqSfzcTC7vczfxr63-iYOOAV4" title="Dare to Battle - Rich DeVos." alt=" Dare to Battle - Rich DeVos."><br> Dare to Battle - Rich DeVos.</div>
<p>So, if a guy fixes your car, remember to greet him. Remember to thank him. And if all of us will begin to do this, we can <i>change America</i>. We can break down the barriers between, (in a sarcastic tone:) “I’m better than you.” There’s too much of it! So, let’s join me in the crusade. Let’s remember that the little things [we do and say] make a difference.</p>
<br><p>This is the end of Part IV</p>

<p>Many years ago my wife and I struggled to make ends meet. I thought that selling Amway products would work for us, and persuaded her to try it. While others succeeded at it, we failed miserably; we had trouble convincing others to buy. I don’t blame Amway, we simply didn’t possess the required skills. During our Amway experiment, we purchased several cassette tapes from the company at the suggestion of our sponsor. Most of them bored me, but a single tape stood out. I listened to it often and I’ve quoted it many times. One of the two founders of the Amway Corporation, Rich DeVos, spoke in front of a group of about 1,800 young people at the 23rd annual Junior Achievers conference. I believe this occurred sometime in 1966. His use of words may seem outdated, and DeVos might not express himself the same way today, but the message is “right on!”</p>
<br>
<p>Rich DeVos, Part III:</p>
<p>I gave a talk one day in a high school and I talked about smoking, you know. I’d made some comments about the fact that it’s an interesting thing that when you’re your age [young, like his audience], it’s real [inaudible] stuff [he means it’s cool] to smoke. And when you’re my age you’re a big shot <b>if you can quit</b>. Now, that’s an interesting thing. But I made some implications that I didn’t approve of smoking – </p>
<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src="https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQUPZNYeJnbqLK4VafBOdAw9bXSw3VjFgdyKnubJaQ3GVInBBVABg" title="Co-founder Jay Van Andel, Steve Van Andel, current president Doug DeVos, and co-founder Rich DeVos" alt="Co-founder Jay Van Andel, Steve Van Andel, current president Doug DeVos, and co-founder Rich DeVos"><br>Co-founder Jay Van Andel, Steve Van Andel, current president Doug DeVos, and co-founder Rich DeVos</div>
<p>One young gal comes up to me afterward and she says, “I’ll have you know, I smoke. </p>
<p>I says, “You’re kidding.” She was a high schooler.</p>
<p>She says, “No, I do.” I said, “I don’t believe you.”</p>
<p>She said, “Really, I smoke.”</p>
<p> “Nawww,” I said. (laughter) “You don’t smoke, honey, the cigarette smokes, you’re just the sucker! Ya gotta remember that. (loud laughter, and applause)</p>
<p>I mentioned the fact that you’re the leader, you’re the comer, you’re the go-er, you’re the achiever. And as such, others will follow you. </p>
<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTSykO98lMR0XiBKzjb51DSKQ7xc4KJMT85jNQ1RjSH4YPbA_MY" title="DeVos and Van Andel with TV icon Walter Cronkite in 1986" alt="DeVos and Van Andel with TV icon Walter Cronkite in 1986"><br>DeVos and Van Andel with TV icon Walter Cronkite in 1986</div>
<p>But as you progress, and as you assume your roles of leadership, and as you excel, I want you to remember something. That one of the greatest problems we’ve got in America today outside the racial strife that’s going on [remember, this was during the 1960’s] and we all deplore – is the equal respect for each other.</p>
<p>One of the things any minority group is seeking is just respect me for what I am. Don’t give me any favors. I’m not asking for that. Most of them aren’t asking for that. They’re just asking for equal respect and equal opportunity. And, it’s all of us that are going to change that. That won’t happen by accident.</p>
<p>But you see, I see it happening between groups of people. Between classes of people as well as groups – and racial groups.</p>
<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTWbYgdKi1_gGD5Vt9zRW2uYbAv-HXaJoCt6GAERnjuqAgvexOqKA" title="I’d give this guy the microphone, anytime." alt="I’d give this guy the microphone, anytime."><br>I’d give this guy the microphone, anytime.</div>
<p>And, so, the man says, “Well, I went to college.” Well, that’s alright, I hope you all go to college. I hope you all graduate. But you know about half the kids coming out of school aren’t going to go to college.</p>
<p>And, although you may have a greater responsibility because you have greater talent… As a man or a woman you’re not necessarily <i>better</i> than the ones who didn’t. I want you to remember that.</p>
<p>I want you to remember that, the next time that fellow comes by who picks up the garbage at your house. He’s a fellow American who’s using his talent to do what he can do. But he, too, is a part of the great mainstream of American life.</p>
<p>This is the end of Part III, and I’ll cover the amazing conversation he had with his garbage man in Part IV, next time.</p>

<p>These are my perceptions in this blog, not a recitation of current history, nor an attempt to prove my points beyond a reasonable doubt (but, under the First Amendment, you are free to disagree!). I suggest some patterns I noticed of late, in this post, and in <a href="http://fromthelefttotheright.blogspot.com/2013/12/president-obama-didnt-know-really-part-i_12.html" title="the previous post, part I" target="_blank">the previous post, part I</a>. I ask that you forget about previous presidents and hear me out.</p>
<br>
<p>6. Gen. Petraeus scandal: President Obama implied to Chuck Todd (NBC News) of the David Petraeus / Paula Broadwell affair/scandal that his administration had “not been told,” coincidentally, until two days after the 2012 election! Who knew? Not the president.</p>
<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src=" https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQZk9R5Wbsj2PO-sbkiPvPL9yKSXUmqSwFoszXSVVwNMKxJlP5Z" height ="250" width ="300" title="I had no idea..." alt="I had no idea..."><br>I had no idea...</div>
<p>7. Benghazi Scandal 1: Four Americans died in Benghazi, Libya, on Sept. 11, 2012 (the anniversary of 9/11), after Ambassador Stevens requested help from the U.S. The Obama Administration didn’t increase security for the diplomatic mission ahead of time, even though the Muslim Brotherhood was on the rise there. All the president’s men and women blamed the attack on an outrageous video. They apparently don’t know a terrorist attack when they see one – or did they cover it up? No one at the White House still appears eager to investigate. “What difference, at this point, does it make?” said his Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, when she testified before Congress. Hmmm.</p>
<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src="https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTF66Qtusaf7HWMRFV2rKoYbe1ozhgiY87QOY4LuwDrzoCKFaH0" title="Despite President Obama’s claim that he won’t rest until we find out what happened, his administration seemed to say, ’Who cares?’" alt="Despite President Obama’s claim that he won’t rest until we find out what happened, his administration seemed to say, ’Who cares?’"><br>Despite President Obama’s claim that he won’t rest until we find out what happened, his administration seemed to say, ’Who cares?’</div>
<p>8. Benghazi Scandal 2: President Obama campaigned on the slogans, “Bin Laden is dead and General Motors is alive,” and “Al Qaeda is on the run.” So, the Obama Administration sent U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice on the Sunday TV news shows less than 2 weeks before the 2012 presidential election. One must question their motivation. Why did President Obama send Ms. Rice out there? After campaigning on “Mission Accomplished” for squelching Al Qaeda and terrorism, the administration had to sell the fact that the mission in Benghazi was attacked due to Libyan reaction to an offensive video. They needed to deny the terrorism. Later, the president said that Susan Rice had nothing to do with Benghazi. So, using my left-wing teaching to question everything and speak truth to power, I must then ask, “Why did President Obama put her out there in the first place?”</p>
<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src=" https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT0Ln45z3AwvpTRmwULxaD1T6BNqmsm0eMrgos_xEDgPjcoAa_p" height ="300" width ="400" title="Why did Susan Rice repeat the same, incorrect story on all 5 shows?" alt=" Why did Susan Rice repeat the same, incorrect story on all 5 shows?"><br> Why did Susan Rice repeat the same, incorrect story on all 5 shows?</div>
<p>With Secretary of State Hillary Clinton along side, the president said over a year ago, “make no mistake, we will work with the Libyan government to bring to justice the killers who attacked our people.” To date, no one has been prosecuted, arrested, or even accused. If you say that these things take time, then give President Bush the same courtesy, since those pesky WMD’s, hidden by Saddam Hussein, can still turn up. (These things, too, take time, right?) By the way, Susan Rice turned out to be wrong, but was rewarded by the president anyway, when he appointed her to National Security Advisor during his second term.</p>
<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src="https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTDzyZQMFBc43Y-oDkaC4gzfyUey27e4aVj3ubwZ_86OJdkehPA" height ="250" width ="300" title="Yes, why?" alt="Yes, why?"><br>Yes, why?</div>
<p>9. Obamacare failure 2: Millions of us already lost our doctors and our health care policies, even if we liked them. Costs are increasing for people in most states. Yet, President Obama claimed (many times, repeatedly), that his law will save the average family of four thousands of dollars. He said, “If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. PERIOD.” And, “If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan. PERIOD.” No disclaimer. …To be clear, when you say, “period,” you mean what you said is final, the truth, intractable. The president apparently didn’t know that people would be forced to give up their perfectly good and well-liked policies in favor of much more expensive ones. How did he not know? This is <i>his</i> signature law!</p>
<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src="https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTBgcJik9G0prkzjB593sRKXuDhhzjIXCXif4_AjoOGfTIzPyKj6A" height ="250" width ="400" title="Even CNN knows." alt="Even CNN knows."><br>Even CNN knows.</div>
<p>10. Surveillance: Showing anger over President Bush’s surveillance policies, Sen. Barack Obama sarcastically accused the former president of spying on American citizens. To the dismay of the left, the Obama Administration collects many more times the data than the Bush Administration, and is building a mammoth facility in Utah to store even more. Everything will be collected, except phone records, which were recently declared illegal by a judge. (I am not against collecting data, BTW, <u>if</u> it is not used in nefarious ways, but how we prevent it is debatable.) Does President Obama know anything about this? Well, if not, I’m sure he’ll find out about it one day while watching TV.</p>
<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQA3amm5yJw5pfQz7XGspdstyuDm-5frN9TEmqnJA62Q7_0i_hM8g" height ="250" width ="400" title="President Obama’s Utah Data Center - I’ll bet you could store some data there!" alt="President Obama’s Utah Data Center - I’ll bet you could store some data there!"><br>President Obama’s Utah Data Center - I’ll bet you could store some data there!</div>
<p>President Obama says he takes full responsibility for everything, and will get to the bottom of all the scandals, but he never does anything about them. No conclusion is ever reached, one ever gets fired, nobody is ever held accountable, and our president never seems to know much of what’s going on around him. He delegates most of the work, but, boy, as the left complained about President Bush, he sure plays a lot of golf!</p>

<p>I give any president the privilege to perform diplomacy with foreign leaders (fib a little), and obfuscate (hide things in the name of national security), but President Obama appears to delegate - and then walks away, disengaged. Many of his supporters are angry that he has not done more. I maintain we’d be in a lot more trouble if he could manage effectively. He’s a great orator, yes. But like my father, who purposefully had no conservative friends, he doesn’t possess the skills to coerce, cajole, convince, or socialize with Republicans. President Obama stays in the dark, and it seems he likes it that way. During this administration, he (the most powerful man in the world) and his staff told us many times that he learns about current affairs not by being briefed by officials, but while watching TV. Even for the most ardent supporter, this must be hard to believe. (Even the Washingon Post is getting suspicious!) They have a set of photos outlining some of <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/what-obama-didnt-know/2013/11/15/86264212-4e12-11e3-ac54-aa84301ced81_gallery.html#photo=2" title="what he said he didn’t know " target="_blank">what he said he didn’t know</a>.</p>
<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src="https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRK3uDrOyPiB6N1yWB1GS04kOa6yHy_WPy0xHjWhQ_cYZ2G79NRfA" title="Hey, we won." alt=" Hey, we won."><br> Hey, we won.</div>
<p>1. Obamacare failure 1: The president stood by the wayside from beginning to end while his signature Obamacare health-care law crashed and burned. Leaving it to Rep. Nancy Pelosi and Sen. Harry Reid to architect and twist arms for the “we won’t know what’s in it until we pass it” bill, he played golf, campaigned, and hob-knobbed with the rich and famous. No one informed President Obama of healthcare.gov’s problems until after its launch on Oct. 1, 2013, or so they claimed. He described the ease of use of healthcare.gov as being like buying “a plane ticket on Kayak,” or the “same way you shop for a TV on Amazon.” But the site crashed for weeks, instead. He appeared shocked that the government, for three years, had spent half a billion dollars on a website which didn’t work. I was surprised, too, but I am not in charge – he is.</p>
<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTeBCQ7SY2QHrWqLw66W6-CzfgYwMXRXOgUNvDUJYT3O7wu3_W5" title="Only 365,000 signed up so far, but how many have enrolled? Fewer, obviously." alt="Only 365,000 signed up so far, but how many have enrolled? Fewer, obviously."><br>Only 365,000 signed up so far, but how many have enrolled? Fewer, obviously.</div>
<p>2. Spying on our friends: When Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany feigned outrage over the fact that the U.S. was spying on her by tapping her cell phone (for the previous five years), the White House said President Obama had no idea this was happening. I support this tactic, and it is a bi-partisan one, by the way. I fully expect our allies to spy on us and any current administration to do the same, but how did the president not know? He needed to perform a delicate tap dance on this, and he did, but it fits the pattern.</p>
<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src="https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQPgoMs0xM4p2YCtk-TzdMyTfX5ROeLmz9U-EfOgEikgrsuMOTJ" height ="250" width ="400" title="Your country spied on me. No, I had no idea…" alt="Your country spied on me. No, I had no idea…"><br>Your country spied on me. No, I had no idea…</div>
<p>3. IRS Scandal: The IRS spied on Tea Party group activities (‘spying’ isn’t right, but there’s nothing wrong with being aware of your opponents). They also discriminated against Tea Party groups by not allowing a majority of those to receive their applied-for 501c4’s (plenty wrong with that, in fact, <i>that’s illegal</i>). President Obama was either kept from this knowledge, or knew and denied it. He claimed that he first learned about this IRS tactic, “on Friday, when I was watching the news.” He then appeared outraged. “If in fact IRS personnel engaged in the kind of practices that have been reported on and were intentionally targeting conservative groups, then that’s outrageous. And there’s no place for it,” the president said. A year later he dismissed the IRS scandal as false outrage. Which is it?</p>
<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src="https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTO7jJNYteu8lj3NZLcbpWn7YCLTf2HqAAUE3NlYknmaIMNekhJ" height ="250" width ="400" title="I did nothing wrong. It was just a couple of rogue agents in Cincinnati…" alt=" I did nothing wrong. It was just a couple of rogue agents in Cincinnati…"><br> I did nothing wrong. It was just a couple of rogue agents in Cincinnati…</div>
<p>4. Spying on the Media: The White House insisted it knew nothing of the fact that the Justice Department seized Associated Press reporters’ phone records, including those of James Rosen, of FOX News. Either the Obama administration has a private and consistent policy of meanness / underhandedness toward the opposition, or President Obama can’t control his own people. One of the two must be true, but which?</p>
<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src="https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQdJj9m90mwYpTYKuFGI2YfPvrAVWWcma_mvmF8tYyILCjzjZHeOw " height ="250" width ="400" title="’A press that is free to investigate and criticize the government is absolutely essential in a nation that practices self-government…’ Thomas Jefferson." alt="’A press that is free to investigate and criticize the government is absolutely essential in a nation that practices self-government…’ Thomas Jefferson."><br>’A press that is free to investigate and criticize the government is absolutely essential in a nation that practices self-government…’ Thomas Jefferson.</div>
<p>5. Fast and Furious: The Justice Department’s famous “Fast and Furious” scandal (Eric Holder’s people ran guns to Mexico and didn’t track them) was unknown to the Obama Administration. “…the president did not know about this tactic until he heard about it through the media,” his spokesman, Jay Carney said. Sure, Jay. Sure, Jay. I'm beginning to see a pattern...</p>
<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src="https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ5yOnAmMWSYwTOEjQDOZ7a8ZGc3o7w-GctNkU47Li5A1s29Q4dgw" height ="200" width ="350" title="Many Hispanics and at least one American died, but President Obama and AG Eric Holder didn’t know this was their own policy.

<p>I’m a national-issue guy. I avoid the local scene in most cases. But our Douglas County, Colorado issue could morph into a movement across the U.S.A. Great things could happen to the American classroom. This election is done, and choice in education won. Wow, bless the children! The four candidates who supported the old-fashioned, failed and broken educational system lost. Progress was made as so-called progressives Chase, Hodges, Keim, and Scholting (regressives) succumbed to freedom. Congratulations are in order for the true progressives: Jim Geddes, Judi Reynolds, Doug Benevento, and Meghann Silverthorn!</p>

<p>It’s interesting what happens when Republicans win elections. The old, status-quo media stomps on them. Here’s an example from local FOX31, Denver: “After a <b><i>conservative board majority</i></b> elected in 2009 has pushed a <i>bold agenda</i> that includes the nation’s first suburban <i>voucher program</i> and effectively <b>crippled</b> the teachers’ union in the district, <i>an up-swell of anger</i> from parents and the union itself has helped turn races for four board seats into the <b>wildest</b> school board contest in the country. No wonder people have stopped watching the mainstream media!</p>
<p> How would I say it better? I don’t have to. OurColoradoNews.com did it for me: “Candidates favoring the current direction of the reform-oriented Douglas County School Board won all four races, after months of heated electioneering on both sides.”</p>
<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src=" https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS50JRP1_5022eASzp-GRcYtZcGH92PiyJcjjHnbfTSB3w4l-BL " height ="250" width ="400" title="They hid the fact they are pro-union in a heavily Republican county." alt="They hid the fact they are pro-union in a heavily Republican county."><br>They hid the fact they are pro-union in a heavily Republican county.</div>
<p>Sensational! As usual, the mainstream news media must point out “conservative,” as if it is inherently bad. The so-called “bold agenda” merely gives parents a chance to spend a portion of their share of education funds they way they want. For those outraged when I quote Wikipedia, I won’t(!), but will say instead that I’ve found a report that Patrick Wolf, of the University of Arkansas, did a study which found that voucher recipients reach a graduation rate of 91%. The mainstream feels the need to stress the word, “voucher” (as if everyone is against them)… And, the media must not leave out the so-called “anger” caused by those awful Republicans (to make you mad?). Was this the “wildest” school board election? Probably not. Silly media. Read and distort at will, critics, as you must: <a href=" http://newswire.uark.edu/articles/14329/research-finds-vouchers-boost-high-school-graduation-rates" title="Wolf study" target="_blank">Wolf study</a></p>
<p>Where’s the beef? The left doesn’t want the old system changed. Unions must maintain iron-fisted power to keep bad teachers in the system with “tenure.” No one is allowed a choice – they don’t want you to spend any of the tax monies you yourself contributed – on your own children’s education. As with Obamacare, government officials know better than you - how to spend your own hard-earned cash. In addition, no one can do better than anyone else in a socialist state, all are forced equal. The left fears that some of you may take your money and spend it on (gasp!) private educators. The smarter families (who use their vouchers) may then have an advantage over the public school folks… Some may actually benefit and get ahead… Now, we can’t have that!</p>
<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src=" https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR95ZSFXNxsNYxhNHTTyKJY4-NUv4LAgupWy43fjTS9sMmgrmC-

<p>On the other hand, the right supports children, good teachers, and quality in education - by allowing parents to spend their education allotment the way they choose. Freedom of choice sounds so nice, doesn’t it? Colorado’s voters also squelched a $1 billion tax increase by defeating Amendment 66. This is more good news – since our deficits are so high and Obamacare is forcing an increase in the overall cost of health care in this country. We clearly couldn’t afford any more spending, especially at this time.</p>
<p>Sore losers ask for recounts. The Democrats say they may sue over their losses… Yeah, it’s a little like the protesters, who try to spoil our grand children’s good time at the circus by complaining about the way they imagine the circus treats their animals. Take your losses and go home. Like they said, “Obama won.” Why not simply try again next time?</p>

Each candidate made it very close – the county is 2/3 Republican….</div>
<p>I admit to a little gloating and some boasting, but no contest was won by more than 53%, and that must tell you something. The left will agree, and claim “the will of the people,” and also say that “there was no clear majority.” I disagree, and like the Obama 2012 victory, I attribute the close shaves with shrewd marketing. You have to admire the Democrats and their union buddies for their campaign skills. I don’t know how you make it that close if you only have 1/3 of the registered voters (and a vast minority of opinion on the topic). I saw at least 4 of the windshields with the names of the Democrat candidates. Non-stop, smart, targeted. Republicans have a lot to learn.</p>

<p><a href="http://fromthelefttotheright.blogspot.com/2013/10/obamacare-it-covers-everyone-so-whats.html" title="Continued from last week’s post." target="_blank"> Continued from last week’s post.</a></p>
<p>For those who didn’t read last week’s post, I began by saying that one of my friends honestly asked what was so bad about Obamacare. After all, no pre-existing conditions will be denied and everyone will be ensured. What a wonderful deal, right? I expressed my beliefs about why the bill hurts Americans now and why it will fail when implemented, but he objected to most of my statements, and demanded proof and accurate statistical analysis. I told him that neither of us could prove an opinion, but he seemed insistent. He postulated that Obamacare is way better than nothing (the system we have). I admitted that I didn’t like the current health care system either, but not all somethings are better than all nothings. The Democrats certainly didn’t like President Bush’s something (Social Security Savings Account - for only the very young), over nothing. Here’s a few more things that I don’t like about the Obamacare tax… (Remember, these are my <i>opinions</i>, and I do not have to prove <i>any</i> of them to anyone):</p>
<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src="https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRZuc-tIglmLVdCkq4kwSYgr22ZyE0RmX49PlZ7Tp1MOmfE_kC8" title="Most web sites in development for three years don’t have this much trouble." alt="Most web sites in development for three years don’t have this much trouble."><br>Most web sites in development for three years don’t have this much trouble.</div>
<p>13. As predicted, the tax is not ready for implementation. Delays are the rule, rather than the exception. The websites, federal and state, crashed on day one, on live TV. Two weeks later millions still could not purchase insurance, and few had. (Daily Kos, a left-wing site, and The Daily Mail - in England - both reported approx. 55,000 in the first week, which would be, if accurate, about 5.5 million short of the 7 million goal set by the Obama administration by Mar. 30, 2014.) It’s interesting to note that my friend wildly pronounced on day one that the sites crashed because the high demand caused millions to try to get insurance immediately. It turns out that I was right and that the site was architected incorrectly. Instead of being able to see prices on page 1, each user must create an account first. This is opposite of the way things are usually done, and discourages enrollment (unless they are scared of chasing the users away). The site crashed because it was not ready for users. Many TV shows had reporters try to create an account (even on MSNBC), and couldn’t. Two weeks later we are still there. Demand is low and prices high. As usual, the federal government doesn’t know how to do business.</p>
<p>In addition, the Obamacare websites won’t protect you against cyber security attacks (it’s not safe to place your sensitive, personal information on the websites). The most transparent administration in history would not release figures on how many purchased insurance in the first (or second) week. If the numbers had been good, you can bet the administration would have touted the figures, front and center! In that case, the mainstream media also would have carried Obamacare’s water, highlighting its popularity.</p>
<p>14. Some on the left argue that all insurance will be sold by insurance companies, so, despite the bill’s immense number of rules and regulations, they maintain that there’s no governmental control whatsoever. If the federal government rules over the insurance industry, as Obamacare will, its public plan will squeeze the insurance companies out of business. That’s the goal here, socialized medicine and centralized control, and that’s socialism, folks! Remember, every country that ever tried to implement socialism has failed. There's no need to test it anymore, we know that system of governing doesn’t work.</p>
<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src="https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR9_KAwo2jdPfFQrIy3NyK7NIXF58ZR8bBQgy6d6JRgNLsCgkEZoQ" height ="250" width ="400" title="Repeal. Replace. Defund." alt="Repeal. Replace. Defund."><br>Repeal. Replace. Defund.</div>
<p>15. The bill, at more than 2,000 pages at creation time, and over 20,000 pages now, was so immense that no one could read it prior to passage. The Senate rushed it through over a weekend as I recall, giving no staff a chance to digest it. I don’t trust Congress anyway, but when a prime proponent of Obamacare said that ‘you have to pass it to see what’s in it,’ that left a bad taste. They passed it, to paraphrase Secretary John Kerry, “in the dead of night,” without giving anyone a chance to read it! How can anyone respect those tactics?</p>
<p>16. Obamacare skips over the fact that older folks generally have higher costs than the young. The unfair burden will be laid upon the youth of America, they would be overcharged for insurance, because they don’t usually get deathly ill. However, many of them will choose the penalty, so that logic pretty much goes out the window. “Fair for everyone” sure is complicated! Isn’t that right, folks on the left?</p>
<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src="https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRgCSdQrPRILv9ikmL51QlxVaLy4ITlKWyn9gNnDFxwqO0i6HqGkQ" height ="250" width ="400" title="We never want to repeal or amend any law, including the Bush tax cuts – oh, wait...!" alt="We never want to repeal or amend any law, including the Bush tax cuts – oh, wait...!"><br>We never want to repeal or amend any law, including the Bush tax cuts – oh, wait...!</div>
<p>17. Several businesses have gone from full to part-time employees to avoid the additional cost of offering insurance to them. Some adjusted to the rule that those under 50 employees will get a break from the tax. They fired employees, or won’t hire some in order to remain compliant. I thought people on the left were for forcing companies to hire – not for forcing them to fire!</p>
<p>18. This is important, painful, and difficult for many on the left to grasp: The ability to purchase health care insurance (having a health care plan) is NOT the same as <i>receiving health care</i>. When those who are covered eventually go to a specialist or end up in the emergency room, they’ll dislike their high out-of-pocket costs. (This will feel the same as not having insurance at all.) Thanks a lot, Obamacare!</p>

<p>19. This year, for the first time ever (15 years) my wife will not be able to stay on the insurance I purchase at my current company (29 if we take into account my previous employer). President Obama promised we would be able to keep our insurance if we liked it... but that turned out to be a false promise. Now, for the first time, the only insurance available to us are two policies, both with very high deductibles. (This means our out-of-pocket expenses for all of our future health care will increase.) We don't like that lack of choice. Democrats always say they are always for choice, but not in this case. Some would argue that my employer’s plan is not Obamacare, and technically they may be right, but I say that Obamacare affected my company’s decision-making process about health insurance. It’s not working out for us so far. (Sad face.)</p>

<p>20. Government, like large corporations, never does anything right – due to massive restrictions and regulations. Their sheer size cripples them. Just look at the Post Office… and the IRS. We always find governing failures in the large, extremist (fascist, socialist, and Communist) countries. Their systems <i>never</i> work out for their people in the long run because forcing equality upon a populous always means making everyone equally poor. (People on the left point to Scandinavian countries as the models of socialism, but they are much less populous than America and they enjoy many more economic freedoms than we do.)</p>
<p>21. It’s especially painful when friends say that I don’t care about the poor, that I like being denied for pre-existing conditions, that I love the insurance companies. None of that is true. I simply disagree with them that Obamacare fixes the health care system. As more companies gear up for next year’s insurance offerings, more people will become dissatisfied with this expensive, inefficient, and highly unaffordable governmental intrusion into our lives. Can I prove it? No. Can they prove that Obamacare is the best way to handle health care? No, they can’t.</p>

<p>22. The left likes to say that America had one of the worst health care systems in the world prior to Obamacare. I saw reports from 2011-12, placing the formula for the doctor to patients ratio in America at approx. 370-416 patients to 1 doctor. (True disclosure: I heard from 508 to 2,000 to 1 doctor in late 2013, but I can’t verify those claims.) In developing countries the ratio is about 250,000-300,000 people for each doctor. Yes, this is Google-able, for all you proof-seekers. So we had one of the better systems. (They will argue that it’s silly comparing America to Malawi, for example, and they’ll say they never said anything about third world countries. I agree, they shouldn’t have brought it up in the first place...)</p>
<p>23. From the previous argument: Over half of the doctors we have in this country are over 50, and will retire. If healthcare providers turn away those who purchase insurance in the exchanges, this could make the system even more painful. If health care is distributed to millions more with fewer doctors, what happens to the care we enjoyed prior to Obamacare? I thought so.</p>
<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src="https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQV3A8Ea7MBFRv5zFF8YlsOt84EbzlZohKnZX-b-6TqM3d9siCz" height ="360" width ="400" title="Most oppose Obamacare." alt=" Most oppose Obamacare."><br>Most oppose Obamacare.</div>
<p>My friend asked what’s so bad about Obamacare, and what harm could it possibly do? I have done my best to answer, but I’ll bet he’ll continue to defend this offensive and painful tax. Many on the left will claim it's doing great, even when it's not. If it ever does poorly, and hurts people, guess who they'll blame? Who bears the brunt of Obamacare not working? My crystal ball says that in their eyes: The blame shall never fall upon former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Sen. Harry Reid, or President Obama, but, of course... the Republicans!</p>

<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src="http://abcnews.go.com/images/Politics/oddities_obamacare.jpg" height ="360" width ="400" title="Amazing." alt="Amazing."><br> Amazing.</div>
<p>One of my friends recently (and honestly) asked what was so bad about Obamacare. After all, everyone can be insured and no pre-existing conditions will be denied. Sounds great, right? I told him what I thought, but he didn’t like my answer, and said that all of my points could be refuted. I agreed, but so could his supportive arguments. My friend also said that hey, it’s better than nothing (the system we have). I admitted that I didn’t like the current system either, but not all somethings are better than all nothings. The Democrats certainly didn’t like President Bush’s something (Social Security Savings Account - for only the very young), over nothing. Here are the first dozen things I don’t like about the Obamacare tax:</p>
<p>1. Despite the claims of Democrats, Republicans were NOT consulted on crafting the Obamacare bill. I actually remember what happened. The law was written by only Democrats, so it’s one-sided. No Republican ideas were included, and that’s bad. (Romneycare was NOT a nationalized health plan and does NOT qualify as a Republican idea.) Democrats would never let us forget: Let’s say a Republican president took a controversial conservative idea from a single moderate Democrat governor. This president (Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, Mia Love, Nikki Haley, or Bobby Jindal?) said you had to pass it to see what was in it, and implemented it nationally - after passing it with no votes from any Democrats. Would their party say our Republican president passed a Democratic idea? No.</p>
<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS-dlQhu9Up_R_P_odQhX_cNChdC398_wJW_mWxi8Rwh2_9PYd4" title="Democrats: Let’s craft a bill without the Republicans, and pass it all by our lonesome..." height ="180" width ="200" alt=" Let’s craft a bill without the Republicans, and pass it all by our lonesome... okay!"><br>Let’s craft a bill without the Republicans, and pass it all by our lonesome... okay!</div>
<p>2. The tax was passed by a bare 60 vote majority, after Sen. Arlen Specter switched parties from (R) to (D)… It was passed after many back-room deals, and several Senators were promised special deals to benefit their states. For those who say Obamacare is the ‘law of the land,’ please recall the “cornhusker kickback.” In exchange for his “yes” vote, Sen. Ben Nelson (D-NE) was promised that the federal government would fund Nebraska’s expanded Medicaid system, the only state to get <b>permanent</b> federal assistance – <b>yes, forever</b>, predicted to be about $45 million per decade. Every other state (all 49) would pay for this going forward. Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA), was promised an additional $300 million for her state’s Medicaid program if she voted for the bill. Nice, huh? Fair? The “law of the land?” Maybe, but unfairly passed – barely under the wire - for sure.</p>
<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src=" http://www.againstcronycapitalism.org/wp-content/uploads/Obamacare-health-ins.-cc-565x565.jpg?38a495" title="You can’t cover more people w/o increasing prices." height ="360" width ="400" alt="You can’t cover more people w/o increasing prices."><br> You can’t cover more people w/o increasing prices.</div>
<p>3. I don’t like the federal (or any) government telling me I have to purchase anything, including health insurance. They never forced us before, and what’s to stop them from telling me which car to purchase, or which company’s oil to buy? This is a freedom, and a slippery slope issue. It borders on tyranny when the authorities put a gun to our head (back atcha) and force us to spend our money. Hey, Dems, where’s that “screw them!” attitude, and just when we need it?< p>
<p>4. Obamacare imposes a penalty on those who don’t buy insurance, and the penalty will stiffen as the years go on. That’s unfair, and back-breaking for the poor. I thought that only Democrats support the rights of the poor. Guess not.</p>
<p>5. If Obamacare were such a great law, why did President Obama delay the penalty for corporations, but not for individuals (we, the people)?</p>
<p>6. If Obamacare were such a great law, why are lawmakers and most public employees exempt, and why did thousands of the president’s buddies (CEO’s, and corporate donors) get exemptions? The left rails against such behavior when a Republican is the target, but supports such cronyism when it benefits the left’s agenda. Many on the left don’t seem to care if the little people can’t get exemptions if they want to opt out.</p>
<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src=" https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTB5igvA57RkoKlDF_a3Al7-AzWDF6bV0VXnhynMx9yWmZjpIc-Qw" height ="300" width ="400" title="Star Trek II, Khan: You can't get away!" alt="Star Trek II, Khan: You can't get away!"><br>Star Trek II, Khan: You can't get away!</div>
<p>7. Obamacare doesn’t fix one of its main goals, to insure everyone. Millions (perhaps as many as now) will still be uninsured, even years after it takes effect.</p>
<p>8. Obamacare doesn’t fix one of its main goals, to lower the cost of health care. Some will enjoy its benefits, yes, but a majority will still pay for the others. You can’t get something for nothing. How can more be insured for less cost? That can’t happen. That’s not possible!</p>
<p>9. President Obama said, over and over again, “If you like your insurance, you can keep it.” While that statement stands for some, many (who received insurance through their employers) have already lost their insurance, and must now buy it on the exchanges. Millions will lose out.</p>
<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src=" http://blog.heritage.org/wp-content/uploads/special-obamacare-in-pictures-201210-03-HIRES.jpg" height ="360" width ="400" title="I am one of those millions who lost coverage." alt=" I am one of those millions who lost coverage."><br> I am one of those millions who lost coverage.</div>
<p>10. Middle America will probably bear the burden of the cost of Obamacare. I’ll agree with liberals here: The rich (and businesses) <b>never</b> pay more, even when intimidated, forced, or threatened. As we suspect, they will pass the costs on to us. (The difference here is that I accept this as the way things are, but people on the other side don’t, they resist the nature of businesses every day.)</p>
<p>11. The IRS will enforce this tax. The HHS Secretary will have the final say (Hey, Democrats – that could be a Republican, several years from now!). Many more employees will be added to the IRS to collect the new tax revenue. Yes, I like police, firemen, and teachers, but I don’t like when government grows (in this way) because it’s highly inefficient. Check out the Post Office, and the IRS (remember the IRS scandal?) for two examples. Bureaucracies, like many large corporations (right, Democrats?), don’t generally function well.</p>
<p>12. The increased number of patients will force IRS officials to decide who deserves treatment over others. Do you really want some guy in the IRS deciding over your son or daughter’s care? Just ask Sarah Murnaghan, the 11-year-old, who required a lung transplant to live. HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius denied poor Sarah’s request several times, but under public pressure, finally caved in. Sad story, but this tax will hurt young people, too.</p>

BTW – This poster depicts several stereotypes, but it is not racist."><br>We celebrate the differences, but they don’t make anyone better than anyone else. BTW – This poster depicts several stereotypes, but it is not racist.</div>
<p>In 2009, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder called Americans “a nation of cowards,” saying that we avoid talking about race. I disagree with his accusations but agree that we don’t discuss the subject enough. We don’t speak about it because many times we falsely accuse each other of racism. There are too many misunderstandings and no one wants a bad reputation. Some may call me a racist - or a hater of overweight people after reading this article, but I am nothing of the sort.</p>
<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src=" https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRDHzXvCvzGPnbGx2652hfj6oVdQ5XqbfbX9Gqco4CQTRqEP-0iGw " title="Andrea Tantaros, someone with great ideas." alt="Andrea Tantaros, someone with great ideas."><br>Andrea Tantaros, someone with great ideas.</div>
<p>Andrea Tantaros explained it better than anyone recently, by saying that many people today confuse racism with prejudice. They are <i>not</i> the same, and I agree. We all prejudge (ideas, history, politicians, politics, people, etc.), but most of us are not racists. For example, someone can be fearful of an individual walking down the street (an emotional reaction to their physical appearance, but this is not racism, sexism, or anti-semitism, or any of those) and at the same time not hate them for who they are. Fear is created by past events in a person's life, such as being mugged, picked on by ONE person we unintentionally classify as belonging to a group. This is a self-preservation mechanism - uncontrolled and emotional, but hate is pre-meditated and is a mind-set.</p>
<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src="https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTxIi2ekCw54C5ZonvVUJcwfLC-ylZXNFdjjJf3cS-KBeezcX1FEA" title="What about me?" alt=" What about me?"><br> What about me?</div>
<p>As I’ve said before, I was picked on by a heavy-set Caucasian fellow in high school. For many years I felt uneasy and angry around overweight people, any color, any race. However, I dealt with it and I don’t feel bad about this anymore. One can understand that when someone who looks different bothers us, a prejudice sets in. If a similar situation occurs concerning racial differences, a person can become fearful or develop a distrust for those who look like the one who caused the anxiety.</p>
<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src="https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSCSeC78-g7C6AUXPHX8aJIMKdWt95mmpl7KQ_rdE5pAszDyrJl" title="What if it’s the kid on the right? Why not, are you prejudiced?" alt="What if it’s the kid on the right? Why not, are you prejudiced?"><br> What if it’s the kid on the right? Why not, are you prejudiced?</div>
<p>It doesn’t mean the skeptical person is a racist. If you resemble someone (white, black, Hispanic, Asian, bald, skinny, heavy, dressed the same, wearing a similar cap, etc.) who caused someone else some pain, you may hear a car door lock as you walk by. Don’t take offense. It may be prejudice, or simply mean that the driver realized his doors were not locked and decided to lock them as you walked by. Hey, they might not be a racist, but reacting to some past, bad experience.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/msnbc-saying-golf-and-chicago-is-racist" title="Saying ‘Chicago’ and ‘golf’ may be racist, #1" target="_blank"> Saying ‘Chicago’ and ‘golf’ may be racist, #1.</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2012/08/30/msnbc-host-actually-says-talking-about-obama-golfing-is-racist-attempt-to-link-him-to-tiger-woods-sex/" title="Saying ‘Chicago’ and ‘golf’ may be racist, #2" target="_blank"> Saying ‘Chicago’ and ‘golf’ may be racist, #2.</a></p>
<p>Some pundits on TV have said that when we use the word, “Chicago,” we are racist because there are a lot of blacks in Chicago. If we say that President Obama plays too many rounds of golf it proves we are racist. This is seen by the paranoids as linking the president to Tiger Woods and sex. Sorry, but that’s not reality, it’s just crazy. <a href="http://firedoglake.com/2010/10/08/you-might-be-a-racist-if/". title="Check out more paranoia here: Search for the text, ‘If you,’ and you’ll see it." target="_blank"> Check out more paranoia here: Search for the text, ‘If you,’ and you’ll see it.</a></p>

<p>Let’s not let ultra-sensitivity get the better of us. Americans generally celebrate the differences and believe that if we were all the same we’d be bored. Yes, there’s real racism out there, but let’s keep in mind that there’s a difference between prejudice (pre-judging), and racism (hating someone for their appearance or heritage). Why have we not had the conversation on race that President Obama and Eric Holder spoke about many years ago? Like most of us I am not afraid of discussing this, Mr. Attorney General, are you?</p>

<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src=" https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSW5jA2tVSckHnQKKjyfj2DgMMidRJtoVjSf5eUsHiT8B--P6-1eg" title="Stephen Dinan, appearing on Washington Journal, Sep. 16, 2013." alt=" Stephen Dinan, appearing on Washington Journal, Sep. 16, 2013."><br>Stephen Dinan, appearing on Washington Journal, Sep. 16, 2013.</div>
<p>I once thought the Washington Times tilted right, but no more. If pundit Stephen Dinan is a good sample, The Times is now left-wing. I don’t begrudge anyone’s right to be a liberal. However, someone who professes to be a reporter (not pundits Chris Matthews or Sean Hannity) should remain politically detached. Mr. Dinan appeared on Washington Journal this past Monday, and, as Mr. Spock said, I could hardly believe my ears! Mr. Dinan is in no way objective. He spouted many of the left’s talking points while speaking with host Greta Brawner.</p>
<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src=" https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRpuiDuVJteUhPtQUj8wsxCyHbLuj3Cbfq4sKWcYInjHCt4Sf-xIg" title="The left doesn’t want you to know about the Republican ideas on health care." alt="The left doesn’t want you to know about the Republican ideas on health care."><br>The left doesn’t want you to know about the Republican ideas on health care.</div>
<p>Here are Mr. Dinan’s Democratic talking points, as discussed on the Journal: 1. The Republicans have no health care plan of their own to replace Obamacare. This is palpably false. All Stephen Dinan had to do was perform a little research. Here are some URLs I found quite easily on Google. If I spent more time, I’m sure I could have presented dozens here, but these are only a sample:<p>

<p><a href="http://www.forbes.com/sites/aroy/2011/09/28/paul-ryan-in-a-major-speech-proposes-universal-health-coverage-via-tax-credits/" title="4. Paul Ryan proposes solution." target="_blank">4. Paul Ryan proposes solution.</a></p>
<p><a href="http://roadmap.republicans.budget.house.gov/issues/issue/?IssueID=8516" title="5. Roadmap for America." target="_blank">5. Roadmap for America.</a></p>
<p>So, for my liberal friends out there, please don’t say that Republicans have nothing to offer. Instead, why not be honest, and say that you don’t like any of them? I'd buy that. But don’t accept the lie fed to you by the media and say there are none.</p>
<p>2. Stephen Dinan stated Republican failures, but <i>never</i> those of Democrats. This is childish, doesn’t discuss the issue, and falls flat. 3. He called the Republicans, “crazy” (name-calling) for trying to pass a bill funding and another defunding Obamacare. Dumb, maybe, but not ‘crazy.’ 4. Mr. Dinan made a big deal over the government shutdown. My liberal friends would agree with him (this is, after all, a list of <i>liberal</i> talking points). And I’m not saying this to argue, I merely object to this guy’s bias while at the same time passing himself off as a non-partisan reporter.</p>
<p>5. Mr. Dinan kept saying that the economy is getting better. True, but as the president has repeated, not fast enough. 6. Republicans and Democrats strategize to blame each other for various decisions, he said. I hope not, but this is something many on the left love to stress. 7. Dinan points out that there are many “big tests” coming for Republican Speaker John Boehner. Okay, but never did Dinan say anything about the president being tested. 8. He questioned Boehner’s leadership and said we need to keep an eye on it during debt limit talks and upcoming immigration debates. He never mentioned the president’s leadership.</p>
<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src=" https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcREdixkWfFl_fKMul5DYFMRzVD7P2S_O9ivwuBiup_foO3UC5Y9Xw" title="Boring! I agree with the reporter." alt="Boring! I agree with the reporter."><br>Boring! I agree with the reporter.</div>
<p>9. Mr. Dinan used the phrase “Republican stagnation” and called Republicans, 10. “tricky.” 11. A caller pointed out that Dinan mentioned how much spending we’re doing. In defense of President Obama, as many on the left do, the caller, solving nothing, told us about how much Presidents Bush and Reagan spent. While not nearly as much as the current president, Dinan agreed with the caller, in principle. I guess if Bush did it, then overboard, outlandish spending is defendable for Obama. Remember the kid on the playground, “He did it first. So there.” 12. Stephen Dinan used the left’s argument on spending which goes like this: “It’s gotten worse in the last 10-12 years. Perhaps, but it’s gotten <i>much</i> worse in the last 5.<p>
<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src=" https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSnwRra16tTfvR28tgLoyBQdc4NC68I0t6rGeHq5INrpm20XlLD5g" title="Give up the silliness. There are Republican solutions." alt=" Give up the silliness. There are Republican solutions."><br>Give up the silliness. There are Republican solutions.</div>
<p>13. Dinan defended recent government cutbacks on spending without praising Republicans, who have been for this for years. Typical of some on the left. 14. He knocked Speaker Boehner’s statement that the American people are ready for a serious conversation on spending. Dinan said that the people want their Social Security, Health Care, education and FBI spending instead. But, friends, the Republicans don’t want to cut those areas. Don’t be misled by such pundits hiding in reporters’ clothing!<p>
<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src=" https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSjG3d26R9weHuyG6QPfoaI5HAJokwc13ezCQiWINVsMgQUkq7v" title="A biased media reduces freedoms." alt="A biased media reduces freedoms."><br>A biased media reduces freedoms.</div>
<p>15. Dinan mentioned at least twice that the Republicans would “hold the government hostage.” Regardless of whether you believe this or not, it is a talking point of the left. 16. He said that Republicans have made their questioning in Congressional hearings regarding Benghazi, more political by trying to tie it back to the White House. I disagree, of course, but a defender of the president would/should agree with Mr. Dinan. 17. He actually said that Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) made a great point by saying that only 5% of Americans agree that entire government spending should be held hostage. That may be true, but the Republicans want to fund the entire government while holding back funding for Obamacare. Schumer also asked, “How far Republicans will go without being blamed?” I’m sure most liberals agree, but a reporter shouldn’t argue for any side.</p>
<p>Always watch for bias in the news, and point it out. When we have a one-sided, opinionated media, and we nearly do, freedoms easily dissolve and the country is doomed.</p>

Let’s react differently this time." alt="We found WMDs? Let’s react differently this time."><br>We found WMDs? Let’s react differently this time.</div>
<p>I admit that I supported the war in Iraq due to Saddam Hussein’s horrific use of chemical weapons against his own people. These were called, “weapons of mass destruction,” or WMD. Many on the left now ask, “Why not now?” Sometime around 2010 I realized that with the poor condition of the American economy, we could not afford another conflict. The vastly radicalized Middle East, public opinion, the lack of progress in Iraq - and the left - all convinced me that our best interest lay in staying out of it. Peace, man. Many said that the people in Iraq didn’t learn anything from our presence and insisted that we were not the world’s police force.</p>
<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src=" http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8503/8357558415_da35218980_b.jpg" height="275" width="375" title="Axis of WMD. Can’t read it? Google ‘Axis of WMD’ " alt=" Axis of WMD. Can’t read it? Google ‘Axis of WMD’ "><br>Axis of WMD. Can’t read it? Google ‘Axis of WMD’</div>
<p>Our Nobel Peace Prize winning president now wants to lob a few missiles Syria’s way because Bashar al-Assad used chemical weapons against his own people. The question I ask is, “Why now?” What caused the change of heart, and how is it even possible when the left protested so vehemently against “Bush’s War?” President Obama promises the strike will be small, swift, won’t bog us down for years in a new conflict (how do we know that?), but will teach Syria a lesson. What will Syrian President al-Assad learn that the radicals in Iraq didn’t?<p>
<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQFVltrctlYE0WjAXygFhjdEgWEu9BXfxNis36bh5Pu6RHlEGVCUQ" title="Were you convinced that the U.S. should use military force against Syria?" alt=" Were you convinced that the U.S. should use military force against Syria?"><br>Were you convinced that the U.S. should use military force against Syria?</div>
<p>”What kind of a world will we live in if the United States of America sees a dictator brazenly violate international law with poison gas, and we choose to look the other way?” No, that’s not President George W. Bush justifying the war in Iraq, it’s a quote from President Barack Obama’s Sep. 10, 2013 speech! President Obama addressed the nation and tried to convince us that his choice to strike Syria is the right one. In the next breath he urged Congress to delay voting their support for his decision. Isn’t this lack of direction (or is it misdirection?) stunning? President Kennedy (D-MA) once said that a few advisors in Vietnam would be all we’d need. President Johnson (D-TX) escalated that war (which, by the way, took a Republican president to end it). After so many said we would not get involved in global conflicts, how can we believe the current president?</p>
<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src=" https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSe5EtDIQlzXUrqvZbaWV03sdRhGfXzNnGKH4iksmkzZhAa4kP8ag" height="275" width="350" title="Now and Later." alt="Now and Later."><br> Now and Later.</div>
<p>President Obama said a year ago that if Syrian’s president used chemical weapons against his own people it would cross “a red line.” He doesn’t want to appear weak by doing nothing, but I maintain that he does not wish to strike Syria at all. I think he wants to distract Americans from the poor economy (lack of jobs). He’d like you to not pay attention to the myriad of scandals - his administration’s failure to protect our people in Benghazi, the IRS’ targeting of conservatives, and the massive data collection – the ‘spying on Americans’ discussion.</p>

<p>While the magician waves one hand, you don’t notice that something else is happening in the other. So, take your eye off the lack of jobs, the massive over-printing of money, and the second Obama administration’s incompetence. Look at Syria, instead. Ignore the significance of the 12th anniversary of 9/11, the glory of the new World Trade Center Tower, and for heaven’s sake, pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!</p>

<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src="https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR1-NDn5z1wYwWRxl9nf63gMcF-fQ1kScd43LYfM0xeGSxpn4Yf" title="They call him ‘The Great One.’ There’s a reason." alt=" They call him ‘The Great One.’ There’s a reason."><br>They call him ‘The Great One.’ There’s a reason.</div>
<p>Left-wing radicals would have you believe that Constitutionalist and talk show host Mark Levin is a radical. He’s nothing of the sort. An author of five books (an intellectual and thinker), he believes that the U.S. is in “an age of post-constitutional tyranny.” Levin believes that the public is not being informed, but misled by its leaders. This is why he is gaining ground with so many.</p>
<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src="https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRunyNMFEIJYPJHriCcv-y2ftkv8FWV4i0nwNFjRynjcsr3rFPNdw" title="Levin on radio." alt=" Levin on radio."><br> Levin on radio.</div>
<p>Mark Levin calls the U.S. Department of Energy the <i>Department of No Energy</i> because items that produce vast amounts of real energy (oil, coal, nuclear) are generally diminished and opposed by the Obama Administration. The things that don’t produce much energy - if any - are touted as great (wind turbines, solar, and bio-fuels such as algae). An administration such as this is for “no energy.” Even open-minded Democrats and environmentalists can understand the irony and appreciate the humor.</p>
<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src="https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTmRm9I0MqkI1_uc6TTzdFIE1tP7TF7h0zjzuL15JNmH6EN4lSxZg" title="Ameritopia, by Mark Levin." alt=" Ameritopia, by Mark Levin."><br> Ameritopia, by Mark Levin.</div>
<p>”The system is broken because we’re unmoored from the Constitution,” he said, on Hannity, on August 16, 2013. (Yes, on Hannity! The other networks won’t let him communicate his ideas to you.) Levin cites the imploding and yet expanding federal government (think about that for a minute), and an out-of-control national debt, with unfunded liabilities now approaching $90 trillion – only a few years ago just under $70 trillion. “The notion of limited government was all swept away with a big exclamation mark with Obamacare and so many laws before it.”</p>

<p>Don’t take my word for it, <a href="http://newsbusters.org/blogs/cal-thomas/2013/08/16/cal-thomas-column-mark-levins-liberty-amendments-has-constitutional-cure" title="Read Cal Thomas’ assessment of Levin’s new book." target="_blank"> Read Cal Thomas’ assessment of Levin’s new book.</a></p>
<p>Just so you don’t say I ignore the other side, or get my news from only one source, you’re free to read some criticism of Levin by Ana Marie Cox, who writes about “politics and whatever” (not my words) at <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/sep/04/mark-levin-originalist-fantasy " title="The Guardian." target="_blank">The Guardian.</a> Her outrage, when confronted with new ideas is entangled with the usual paranoia, closed-mindedness, and name-calling, as she says his objectives are to “disempower anyone” who disagrees with him. [In my travels <i>From the Left to the Right</i>, I found out that this is a fallacy in left-wing thinking; no one on the right is out to oppress anyone!] Levin never uses race in his arguments, but Cox sure does, and without much intellectual grounding, I might add. She drips with sarcasm and ridicule, without using any substantive arguments against his, as she calls them, “zombie ideas.” Ana Marie Cox, like many, won’t ever seriously consider Levin’s concepts. What would you expect from a mostly-brainwashed populous, thoughtfulness?</p>
<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRS1dltCSLSDycywg2OvA2x8UOGfivLiLqjqUXaHLG1mA46imer" title="The Unmaking of America." alt="The Unmaking of America."><br>The Unmaking of America.</div>
<p>No, I am not a Constitutional scholar – and this is not a book review. However, I like Mark Levin’s ideas for amending the Constitution. According to lawyer and author David Limbaugh (not Rush, but his brother), Levin attempts to revitalize, not destroy the Constitution. His idea to limit the terms of Supreme Court Justices makes sense. So does the call for a national convention to amend the Constitution.</p>
<p>Here’s <a href="http://www.gopusa.com/commentary/2013/08/26/limbaugh-mark-levin-a-modern-day-constitutional-prophet/" title="David Limbaugh’s recent article on Levin’s Amendments." target="_blank">David Limbaugh’s recent article on Levin’s Amendments.</a></p>
<p>Who can argue with Mark Levin when he states that America is no longer a federal, constitutional, or representative republic, and points out that our crushing out-of-control debt is so high, and says that the past and current presidents have threatened to rule by executive order? He says we are being manipulated by Washington. No kidding! He asks, referring mainly to Obamacare, “How the hell can you have a representative republic and an informed republic, with the manner in which they’re passing these massive bills?” Good question.</p>

<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src=" https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTdR_LAh-pc_V9C25QHVlSmyjxXhBAYDSY5XtOraB8AyDIaMBthHA" title="Radio talk show host Mark Levin." alt="Radio talk show host Mark Levin."><br>Radio talk show host Mark Levin.</div>
<p>Mark Levin, a lawyer, author, constitutionalist, and a witty commentator, believes that the people who favor federalism (a centralized government), have been running the political show for about a century while conservatives sat back and watched. He thinks it’s time for the right to express itself and stand up to the progressives, whom he calls, “regressives.” Mr. Levin insists that we live in a post-constitutional era due to the left’s century of successes.</p>
<p>Levin has written many books outlining his ideas, including, <i>Men in Black: How the Supreme Court is Destroying America, Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto, Ameritopia: The Unmaking of America, </i> and most recently, <i>The Liberty Amendments: Restoring the American Republic.</i> In it he proposes 11 new amendments to the U.S. Constitution in order to re-establish constitutional republicanism (which we don’t have today).</p>
<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src="https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR7yKUpOUBN1cJD4jHBCOP8uAwSLWOlm8RguQCfypnlpIVZGO1aiA" title="" alt=""><br></div>
<p>In his new book, the author focuses on Article Five of the Constitution, which states that there are two methods for amendment. One, which has been used for all of the current 27 Amendments, is to apply the legislatures to a two-thirds majority vote. The other way, which has not been used yet, is to call a convention of the states for proposing new amendments. Levin argues that we should use this second method today. This is not radical, because it would require three-fourths of the states to ratify each one.</p>
<p>I agree with Levin’s disgust that the left slowly took over America, by removing many long-held beliefs from the American people, such as ‘limited government.’ He says, “The states created the federal government,” but now “the states live at the behest of the federal government.” I agree with the idea that the centralized bureaucracy should have <i>less</i> power. While his radio personality is a bit acidic for me, I like Mark’s sarcastic sense of humor, and I laugh in our mutual frustration over the way things have gone in this country and, among other things, with the timidity of the Republican Party. Mark Levin comes off as a shy, humble man on TV, and this may surprise people who only listen to his radio show.</p>
<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src=" https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTlRc3uBV_72NiLpeqnC0VIDG5kZROU3CpK0pDhYuW1Vh3osm8ltg" title="Mark Levin’s Previous Book." alt=" Mark Levin’s Previous Book."><br> Mark Levin’s Previous Book.</div>
<p>Mr. Levin proposes something I think that most Republicans, Democrats, and Independents can all agree on. Term limits for members of Congress, which includes both houses. Twelve years, tops. No more career politicians in the Senate or House of Representatives. “They [the founders] didn’t believe in a permanent legislative class.” Very good! Our re-election rate is higher than England’s House of Lords (it was known for its members rarely leaving). In the ‘tidal wave’ election in 2010, when the Republicans won many seats, 85% of U.S. Congressmen were re-elected!</p>
<p>Many Americans believe that ‘the system’ is broken these days. ”The system is broken because we’re unmoored from the Constitution,” Mark Levin said, on August 16, 2013. Levin cites the imploding and yet expanding federal government, and an out-of-control national debt (unfunded liabilities are approx. $90 trillion – only a few years ago just under $70 trillion). “The notion of limited government was all swept away with a big exclamation mark with Obamacare, and so many laws before it.”</p>

<p>When I drive down the street in my F150, I need to be cognizant of my 2012 Romney decal. Any poor perception of my driving by a former Romney supporter might be attributed to my brand of truck (Ford), or even ignored. However, some on the left - if they see my sticker - may assign my driving skills to Republicans. This is unfortunate, but is to be expected. Humans classify.</p>
<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src="https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSxpLHie0wmF0hd_liRdCvFGaFnp4JTHvbdxH1HvHsxrUrfqun8RA" title="Not my truck decal, but similar." alt="Not my truck decal, but similar."><br> Not my truck decal, but similar.</div>
<p>My company warns us that while we wear the corporate badge we represent the employer, and bad behavior on our part can be falsely perceived by a customer or a vendor as supported by the business.</p>
<p>I’m not proposing for us to be goody-two-shoes adults, but anything I do in public can and probably will be unfairly associated with my appearance. I wear FDNY, NYPD, and so-called ‘patriotic’ hats, and when people see me they may think of men in general, guys with grey beards, white people, Americans, or older, middle-aged people. I understand that, but don’t always remember.</p>
<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src=" https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT8YaKY4XFW7kBJb-qqmW7t-5OEE18bvwHN2bl2DQSme9Fdb3Mu" title="Which team’s colors do you wear?" alt="Which team’s colors do you wear?"><br>Which team’s colors do you wear?</div>
<p>I recently visited St. Louis and with a group of friends from all over the country, and many of us attended a Cardinals MLB game. Several wore jerseys and/or caps of other teams, as I did. For example, some of the MLB-represented teams were the Giants, Rockies, Royals, Braves, Mets, White Sox, and the Cardinals fans were terrific. However, if one of us did something stupid, it’s possible that the locals would have attributed our craziness with that of our team. I’d be embarrassed if someone hated the Rockies because of something I did! Yet, I had to live with that possibility. I can’t help what I look like, nor how anyone perceives me, but neither can anyone else.</p>
<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src="https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQhHtuKXXtS5C5L-kZylNIJjTXIp69Mk3epFB14JR48oKI8QTjP" title="How you act in public can reflect on others’ impressions of your image." alt="How you act in public can reflect on others’ impressions of your image."><br>How you act in public can reflect on others’ impressions of your image.</div>
<p>I’ve been picked on as a youth by all kinds of people, mainly because I was excessively short as a youngster. However, I’ve noticed that I most clearly remember those who didn’t look like me. An extremely heavy Caucasian boy bullied me in high school and I had a hard time accepting overweight people for a long time. (Some of you thought I was going to use a different example, right?) Not the fault of any obese people I met since, but my feelings were human. I eventually overcame this, but it took a lot of time, and plenty of introspection. His momentary pleasure gave me years of prejudice and anxiety.</p>

<p>I’m not saying anyone is perfect, including me, but shouldn’t we think more often of the way people perceive us? Which logos, jerseys, or colors do you wear? How will someone perceive <b>you</b> as you move through your public life? Who do <b>you</b> represent?</p>

<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src="https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcToaJ9BdmJZCA-P3pRtJzqp4F4qxGnzh9Q78G6ZN17gh2wvJWPi" title="Rich DeVos, co-founder of the Amway Corporation" alt="Rich DeVos, co-founder of the Amway Corporation"><br> Rich DeVos, co-founder of the Amway Corporation</div>
<p>Rich DeVos and Jay Van Andel started the Amway Corporation in 1959. Mr. DeVos is known for his powerful and positive style in delivering speeches. I once tried to sell Amway products but I am not a salesman, so I gave it up. However, one of DeVos’ best speeches has stuck with me throughout the years. It is a tribute to the American free enterprise system. I transcribed the speech a few years ago from the cassette tape I still own. It is outlined in this series, “Selling America.”</p>
<p>Rich DeVos:</p>
<p>…But you see, the thing we project, the attitude we show, has as much to do with it as anything. And so, I want to talk to you about Selling America. And I include the Canadians because I maintain you are Americans because we all live on the North American continent. (applause) And, we share a common system. (more applause which makes him pause again)</p>
<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src="https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQrT8WZnBivj6n8dhr76N886qWhGa8oZq_w8rQWedhXYhC9aY7H" title="Amway co-founders Rich DeVos and Jay Van Andel." alt=" Amway co-founders Rich DeVos and Jay Van Andel."><br>Amway co-founders Rich DeVos and Jay Van Andel.</div>
<p> I of course welcome you and I recognize you’re Canadians, and that we’ve taken words and say we’re Americans and you’re Canadians, but we all work under the same concept. And, that’s why the border goes unguarded. And that’s why we go back and forth so freely because we have so much in common.</p>
<p>But, when I ask you to sell America, I maintain it’s a part of a greater job. I want you to go out from this place to be successful. I want you to achieve. I want you to use the talents God has given so you can make a contribution. I want you to assume roles of leadership so you can take those people who don’t know that the opportunities are available to them – and make them see the light.</p>
<p> And, maybe all they’re waiting for is a word from <b>you</b>. And, you know sometimes that word is so simple. It goes like this: </p>
<p>“Hey John, <b>you</b> can <b>do</b> it!” And you know, maybe nobody’s ever told him that. You’d better think about that. You know, my dad used to say that to me. I used to say, “Oh, I can’t do this, I can’t do that.” And he’d say, “You say <b>can’t</b> once more, and I’ll knock your block right through that wall!” (mild laughter) </p>
<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src=" https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQIn3IIGkHNSz8xzBiQtDp9XrvjDHpbM3jr17sh5ORBbyfzj-Li" title="Encouragement, Rich DeVos-style." alt="Encouragement, Rich DeVos-style."><br>Encouragement, Rich DeVos-style.</div>
<p> So somebody kept saying to me as somebody has said to you – You <b>can</b> do it, you <b>can</b> do it, it <b>does</b> pay, you <b>can</b> get ahead, but you see those people never had it. Let me give you an example: </p>
<p> In your school right now there’s some girl or some boy who doesn’t dress quite as well as you think he ought to – but you’ve got your own little clique going over there in the corner, haven’t you? And so this poor soul who maybe is dressing as best they can walks by and somebody says (laughing at him), “Look at that.” (nervous laughter)</p>
<p>You don’t have to say any more than that, you know. They feel a little bad anyway that they can’t afford something better. But, you see, in that moment you helped to destroy that person. Because, you see, that little snicker might just have been the whole thing that broke that girl’s heart, or that boy’s heart. But a friendly word from you could have changed that whole situation.</p>
<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src=" https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQVVumFOAWgTSohnao-RnodS9RegoM1gTvsz8oyK8pb9vXUBqAr" title="Rich DeVos appeared on the cover of the Saturday Evening Post in 1982." alt="Rich DeVos appeared on the cover of the Saturday Evening Post in 1982."><br>Rich DeVos appeared on the cover of the Saturday Evening Post in 1982.</div>
<p>Some of you are decrying the fact that some kids in your school haven’t gone on and they’re dropping out… And you haven’t stopped to wonder the affect <b>you</b> had on the reason they dropped out. See, you’re the <b>bright</b> ones. You’re the <b>leaders</b>. You can afford some slop. And what I mean is that - so you skipped a day. But the problem was when you skipped you didn’t do it alone. You said, “Come on, John, go with us for a day, we’re going to this lake to go swimming. Oh, we’ll skip today. Well, when you came back it was alright, you caught up in a hurry, so you took a grade down that day – it was alright. It didn’t matter to you, but you know to John it might have just knocked the edge off it. And then he slipped just a little behind that day. He never quite caught up and when end of the semester came he flunked the course. Not because he wasn’t the greatest, because he wasn’t that smart, but he was making it until you taught him a habit that took him away. He couldn’t afford that day - you could. But you undermined his whole future because you taught him a bad habit that day.</p>
<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src=" https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR3VoKpxKHaIDnfaRK3RIrLbE8MlvpV6wONR6AdmjkequfatukH1A" title="Rich DeVos: ‘You can DO it!’" alt=" Rich DeVos: ‘You can DO it!’"><br> Rich DeVos: ‘You can DO it!’</div>
<p>You see, the little things you do folks, affect the lives of people every day. There’s no escaping the impact you have on others. And certainly as the leaders in your community you’re just not one of the gang, you’re one they point to, they look to… And every word of encouragement can change the lives of the others with whom you live.</p><br>

<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src=" https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSm7V7oGS0043PZw5iMWOvrcOsRFLVNiCf3hIvfGZeyTb_d3PS5K7Hzggdc" title="Jay Van Andel and Rich DeVos, the co-founders of Amway." alt="Jay Van Andel and Rich DeVos, the co-founders of Amway."><br> Jay Van Andel and Rich DeVos, the co-founders of Amway.</div>
<p>Many years ago I tried my hand at selling Amway products. While others may excel at selling, it’s not for me. Nevertheless, I heard the greatest speech of my life while listening to an Amway tape. I purchased it from the company at the suggestion of our sponsor, the one who took my wife and me under his wing. One of the two founders of the Amway Corporation, Rich DeVos, spoke in front of a group of about 1,800 young people at the 23rd annual Junior Achievers conference. The recording was made, by my calculations, sometime in 1966. Some of the words may seem outdated but the message is “right on.”</p>
<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src=" http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_75T__VWLm5M/SRdO0vXCjDI/AAAAAAAAA8I/eUCYa6_KnaY/s400/Selling_America.jpg" title="Rich DeVos, back then, Selling America" alt=" Rich DeVos, back then, Selling America"><br>Rich DeVos, back then, Selling America</div>
<p>Rich DeVos:</p>
<p>Fellow Achievers, and Fellow Americans, Canadian Friends from the north, it’s an honor to be with you tonight to share a few thoughts about the great system that makes both of these countries the most prosperous on earth. Before, however, I build you up too much, because you see you are the top in Junior Achievement. You’re here because what you’ve done – you’re proven achievers and performers – I would like to give you a little quiz. It goes like this: What I want to know is - Before you go out to rebuild the world, have you learned how to clean up your bedroom? (mild laughter)</p>
<p> Now, is that a bad question? I don’t know. (applause) You know, we live in an age where the Junior Achievement organization and those of you who are gathered here stand contrary - to what many people in this country believe. And as I wander and as you wander you find people who don’t believe that people should be rewarded in direct proportion to the effort they put forth. They think that all people should be treated equally like in the socialistic or the Communistic governments. And what that means is that everybody should be equal. What they really mean to say is that everybody should be equally poor – because that’s about where they stand.</p>
<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src=" https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRfx6mk5hwmuCA9NqZPBIXf7fqBCjxAeoGsN4z-4bZWYvOAvVG0" title="Rich DeVos, speaking more recently." alt="Rich DeVos, speaking more recently."><br>Rich DeVos, speaking more recently.</div>
<p> But something happens in the minds of people – those who are not here – those who are roaming the streets tonight – saying that America and the free enterprise system as shared in this country and Canada is not available to them. They claim the American Dream passed them by. But something happened in their attitudes that they were never exposed to find out how great this system really is.</p>
<p>And, so it is exciting to be here but I have a couple of one liners – we call ‘em, from people who have applied for welfare. And you've got to understand something of their attitude. And, so, here’s a gal and she writes to the welfare department… she’s writing for her neighbor. And she says Mrs. Jones has not had any clothes for a year and has been visited regularly by the clergy. (mild laughter)</p>
<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src=" https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRqInVbSRax-83aVpjry99-x1AZiCDcmovtaGjUfYeSRdNBOAA7ZA" title="Rich DeVos, Selling America." alt="Rich DeVos, Selling America"><br>Rich DeVos, Selling America </div>
<p>Now, the next lady writes: She says, “I cannot get sick pay. I have six children. Can you tell why?” (more laughter)</p>
<p>And, the next lady says, “This is my eighth child. What are you going to do about it?” (more laughter)</p>
<p>Now, here’s a state of mind which says, “What are you going to do about my problem? What are you going to do to help me?” Implying here that there’s nothing she can do to help herself.</p>
<p>And another lady says, “Unless I get my husband’s money pretty soon, I will be forced to lead an immortal life.” (some laughter) And apparently that’s her only out.</p>
<p>Another one says, “You have changed my little boy to a girl. Will this make a difference?” (I hope so, I really do.)</p>
<p>Now, this is an attitude, isn’t it? On the part of people blaming somebody else for their plight. I appreciate the efforts of government to solve people’s poverty problems, but I cannot tolerate their constant complaint that it’s somebody else’s problem that put ‘em there. I believe enough in our system that I maintain anybody who wants to, and is willing to put forth the effort, can solve their own poverty problem.</p>
<p>(applause) I think being poor is something many people do... (more applause which makes him pause)</p>
<p>It sort of has to do with being poor by choice. But you see, that doesn’t solve the problem, does it? Because somebody somewhere has got to reach that person or those persons, millions of them. Because they don’t know, they don’t realize that it can change their life if they’ll but look at the opportunity in a new perspective.</p>

<br><div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src="https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTjjEeC2Vz9lJPYek9IssbFzlmet-ew0NCtDjezEdWtia-JQSRR" title="Justice is blind." alt="Justice is blind."><br>Justice is blind.</div>
<p>The U.S. justice system was founded on the premise that no innocent person is to be jailed - ever. Our forward-thinking founding fathers deliberately and thankfully created it in opposition to witch hunts of the past, where people pointed their fingers, cried, “Witch!” and the accused were burned at the stake. This is now called, “mob justice,” and it is backward and foolhardy. Our way stands for the individual person. He or she must always be presumed innocent until proven guilty - beyond a reasonable doubt, independent of whether or not we agree or disagree with the verdict later on. The American founders would rather have had a boatload of guilty men walk free than any one innocent person suffer punishment for uncommitted crimes. The reason: The brutality of past dictatorships and the inequities of royal rule. My own father, a Communist and later, a socialist, didn’t like the system but respected it, and stood with unwavering support for this principle. He taught me that if I ever wanted a law changed, I should respect it, never break it, and at the same time, work for its change through the system.</p>
<br><div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src="https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRhMKULqIATdZl9dof3Ug20fpcioQba6unuHKkblYQ7D8c4OPOh" title="We use evidence, not emotions." alt="We use evidence, not emotions."><br>We use evidence, not emotions.</div>
<p>The law is blind, they say. I served on Jury Duty in Florida twice. A man stood accused of drunk driving both times. We (two separate juries) convicted the one I empathized with and found the other man innocent (whom I felt deserved punishment). Under the law, each of these juries had to abide by the instructions given by each judge, and we adhered to the letter of the law each time. I didn’t like either decision, but felt compelled to decide both – against <i>my feelings</i>. This is why it is said that justice is blind.</p>
<br><div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src="https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS4o6pGRxdmkN2CE8JV8-k1Z4ed5XgdWetL0JgjhJMNT36Q5kBp" title="If we don’t support our imperfect system, the innocent shall serve time." alt="If we don’t support our imperfect system, the innocent shall serve time."><br>If we don’t support our imperfect system, the innocent shall serve time.</div>
<p>During a third trial in Colorado, I served as a juror in the case of a fine looking, well-dressed man, who stood accused of robbery. His story sounded plausible, and as each other juror became convinced of his guilt, I made certain to give the man every benefit of the doubt. I almost hung the jury, ensuring that we covered every possible out for the guy – until the other jurors proved his guilt to me, according to the evidence presented in court. When the head juror read the verdict I felt horrible, convicting another human being of a crime. His lawyers presented him as such a fine, upstanding member of society. However, after the trial ended, the judge and lawyers from both sides came separately to visit us just before we left. We asked them about the plaintiff, and one of them told us the man had already been convicted of several other crimes. I thought we made the right decision, but I’m glad I did the right thing and gave him a chance during our deliberations. Criminal or not, and no matter how you <i>feel</i> about the defendant or victim, every accused person deserves a chance.</p>
<p>The law is set up to give even the worst person the best chance for acquittal. Consider the alternative. Our system may not be perfect, and we may not agree with each verdict, but we must not be like the people who participated in the witch trials. Innocent until proven guilty – beyond a reasonable doubt, is the best policy. We must stand by the legal system; it’s the best the world has to offer. Would you want to be convicted of a crime you didn’t commit only because someone <i>thought</i> you might be guilty?</p>
<br><div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src="https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQzaRuxHVGwW_wI3xNVXgDJY8HdCmj2yKEzW_i-kFpg-L3Qz9lz" title="…And to the republic for which it stands..." alt="…And to the republic for which it stands..."><br>…And to the republic for which it stands...</div>
<p>There seem to be plenty of people who want to inject race into the Zimmerman case, but our legal system conducted the trial under laws passed in the U.S. and Florida. I think the case in question should not be intellectualized. It’s simply one trial. As in my own experience as a juror, the prosecution and the defense presented evidence and a jury reached a verdict – independent of the feelings of any one juror. Is there still some racism in our society? Sure, but that’s a different discussion. Each of us has the choice to assign racism to this case, or not. I realize that there’s always an alternative viewpoint, but I believe it is divisive to do so, and therefore, wrong. The prosecution had its chance to prove Mr. Zimmerman guilty, beyond a reasonable doubt, and the jury found that it did not.</p>

<br><div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src=" https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT61vTcxlakcNjFxruUBC8MkJZT4W4kyh__AKZXLZo7PDPJhWbeyQ" title="The MSM sees Mr. Alter as a journalistic genius." alt=" The MSM sees Mr. Alter as a journalistic genius."><br> The MSM sees Mr. Alter as a journalistic genius.</div>
<p>Jonathan Alter, a member of the mainstream media (MSM), is held in high regard by his peers and is known by some mild terms, like ‘columnist’ and ‘author.’ His latest book is called, “The Center Holds, Obama and His Enemies.” Naturally, the use of the word ‘enemies,’ implies that those evil Republicans are out to get the president. It can’t be that we disagree with Mr. Obama’s policies, oh, no. It’s not that the president won’t work with our guys, naah. Alter discussed the untouchable’s second term on CSPAN’s Washington Journal a month ago, on June 24, 2013. Many in the MSM, I recall, predicted doom and gloom for President Bush’s second term, but not here. Now it’s, “This president can only succeed if the Republicans would just go away – or change their minds.” On TV, Alter showed confidence in the president’s ability to recover from the multitude of scandals; he has plenty of time. Sure, when you have a favorable media, I suppose you can overcome adversity, especially if all the nagging problems are completely ignored.</p>
<br><div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn2/s720x720/983761_612683255411291_1057649408_n.jpg" width="400" height="200" title="The Center Holds, Alter’s New Book, has a rather paranoid subtitle." alt=" The Center Holds, Alter’s New Book, has a rather paranoid subtitle."><br> The Center Holds, Alter’s New Book, has a rather paranoid subtitle.</div>
<p>Alter says that the IRS and NSA stories are not going to be permanent blemishes on President Obama’s record. Given the media’s bias, he may be right. Like many of his colleagues, he’s excited about the possibility that if immigration reform doesn’t pass the House, the Republicans won’t be able to get their candidate elected in 2016. He, like many on the left, perpetuates the myth that all of a sudden conservatives support immigration reform, when we have been proponents of change in this area all along. Conservatives want to secure the border first, and then address the issue, but no one in the MSM wants you to realize it. They prefer that you believe the lie instead, that people on the right hate everyone, including grandma, and love dirty air and poisoned water.</p>
<br><div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src="https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQQ3KW2bACYECMnJotLjmurkYoymdgt4CFkZgAIHXGLCShV4jJ5" title="One of Alter’s Other Books - The Promise." alt=" One of Alter’s Other Books - The Promise."><br> One of Alter’s Other Books - The Promise.</div>
<p>Jonathan Alter also says that the Obama campaign stealthily visited the Latino community many times (quietly, to avoid attention), in order to win the hearts and minds of those voters. According to Mr. Alter, the immigration bill is now a direct result of that outreach… If the Republicans had done the same, though, they’d have been accused of buying votes, but in this case, it’s a wonderful tactic. If you believe there’s fairness in the media, google a left-wing pundit like Mr. Alter and a conservative journalist, like Sean Hannity, and compare the wording.</p>
<br><div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src="https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQAFbrkEvJcGuiLOOPCYnu177kWfuoOFdNffkC_gFef_NrkUt92" title="Jonathan Alter, neither a reporter or a journalist, is a liberal pundit." alt="Jonathan Alter, neither a reporter or a journalist, is a liberal pundit."><br> Jonathan Alter, neither a reporter or a journalist, is a liberal pundit.</div>
<p>Alter thinks he knows why the president is so silent. He said that President Obama learned that if he raised his profile too high, or come out in favor of something, the Republicans would immediately come out against it. Sort of like each time President Bush did the same, and the Democrats and the media came out against him. They called Bush ‘imperial’ for ‘hiding’ during his second term, but in this case it’s politically smart. Sure. I’ve seen that all presidents do this. There’s nothing smart or sinister about it, unless you push a political agenda.</p>
<br><div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src="https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR0HrE8LReaWGyUinROl0SZYDFzQrVC6Bk4-gAwCWuTWBHjscbqNA" width="275" height="200" title="Jonathan Alter spent 28 years at Newsweek, no wonder they love him." alt=" Jonathan Alter spent 28 years at Newsweek, no wonder they love him."><br> Jonathan Alter spent 28 years at Newsweek, no wonder they love him.</div>
<p>It’s amazing how important the media moguls think President Obama’s legacy is, when they couldn’t wait for Bush to leave. While Mr. Alter says that his job is to hold politicians from both parties accountable, he only holds Republicans accountable. Democrats were not obstructionist during President Bush’s term, only Republicans are now, during President Obama’s. If Democrats had passed Bush’s Social Security reforms I’m sure Mr. Alter and the rest of the MSM would have had a fit, but if Republicans pass the Democrats’s immigration reform they are “stepping up.” This seems just a bit one-sided to me.</p>
<br><div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src="https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRADqF7_Z0NxgrNWWc-ACO8B8a358_JxQ1xPmWNeieNZTallccw" width="275" height="200" title="Alter’s an MSNBC kind of guy, not that there’s anything wrong with that." alt="Alter’s an MSNBC kind of guy, not that there’s anything wrong with that."><br>Alter’s an MSNBC kind of guy, not that there’s anything wrong with that.</div>
<p>Mr. Alter is a liberal and a proponent of the president’s policies, but I don’t hold that against him. The media pretends that he’s a fair journalist, and that’s what I find reprehensible. He’s neither. To explain it to left-wingers, he sounds like a liberal Sean Hannity to me. I don’t say that my blog is journalism, but neither is Mr. Alter’s work. He’s as partisan as I am. He said that righties need to stop resisting Obamacare, no matter what we might think of it, and we need more investment in infrastructure. He’s right, some roads and bridges do need repair, but doesn’t that sound rather familiar?</p>

<p>A friend recently pointed out to me that my support for the U.S. space program goes against my conservative beliefs. I never thought of it that way, but is he right? He said that as a person on the right I should support a tiny or even a non-existent space program – smaller government. When it comes to NASA, I’m for a larger federal agency. Like my friend, some might say that makes me a liberal in this sense. What’s going on?</p>
<br><div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src=" https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQzQUn6kG73smiVJlxEFv7-XfYUytpKbXTgSZ5wsoeE9mlje4WR" title="Charles Bolden was a shuttle astronaut from 1986 to 1994." alt="Charles Bolden was a shuttle astronaut from 1986 to 1994."><br>Charles Bolden was a shuttle astronaut from 1986 to 1994.</div>
<p>When NASA administrator Charles Bolden was to appear on CSPAN’s Q&A program (with Brian Lamb), I got excited, and set the DVR to record. Bolden, a former Space Shuttle astronaut, spoke about the Challenger accident and how it affected him. He told us about his mission to deploy the Hubble telescope, the current missions with Soyuz astronauts, and the future of space travel with commercial companies. I don’t agree with the current NASA policy set forth by both the Bush and Obama administrations (retire the shuttle and don’t pay to replace it). Even though I also disagree with NASA’s plunge into the issue of global warming, I lament that its budgets will continue to be small until leadership in the White House changes policy.</p>

<p>Why am I so fascinated with space and record hours of NASA-TV? Perhaps it’s the age-old quest to learn who we are, where we came from, and why we are here. I want to know for a fact whether mankind is alone in the universe, or are there other civilizations? Maybe it’s a carry-over from my childhood, as I viewed every Gemini and Apollo launch on TV and kept a scrap book of space-related newspaper clippings. The U.S. space agency, alone, carried out the bold will of President Kennedy, the adventurous quest to land a man the moon, and return him safely to the earth. The U.S. government has spent relatively little since it created NASA, less than the 2008 bank bailout, in fact, approximately $526 billion. Not a bad return.</p>

<p>The human species has gained so much from the space program of the 60’s and 70’s. The micro-miniaturization of everything to make payloads smaller gave us the gift of microwaves and smaller and faster computer chips. I cite other examples <a href="http://www.fromthelefttotheright.blogspot.com/2011/05/nasa-gifts-from-space.html" title="in a previous post." target="_blank">in a previous post.</a> We’ll learn so much more. NASA contributes to our scientific knowledge base and increases our standard of living and in the end makes us better people. It’s well worth the expense.</p>

<p>Charles Bolden, a former Marine, flew on the space shuttle mission – his first - just prior to the Challenger explosion. He described the elation of his flight – and then how his joy turned to sorrow. The Q+A program went by way too quickly, and I wound up wishing he had a second hour. Yes, conservatives can love science, and the space program, too.</p>

<br><div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src=" http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z315/marker_from_parker/DSCN1464640x480.jpg" title="Rene Lachemann, The Colorado Rockies’ 2013 first base coach." alt=" Rene Lachemann, The Colorado Rockies’ 2013 first base coach."><br> Rene Lachemann, The Colorado Rockies’ 2013 first base coach.</div>
<p>Last year my wife and I bought into a share of home game tickets for the Colorado Rockies. Each of the members of our group can’t afford 81 home games, so we attend about 10 games a year. We’re lucky enough to sit close enough to hear the players at times, but I didn’t expect what I saw and heard from Colorado Rockies’ first base coach Rene Lachemann.</p>
<br><div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src=" https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQpMfOkGXSM_9ifJk6yyxSsplqVWptXSPFmOFqKerW1FdZHP4c6" title="One kid at a time." alt="One kid at a time."><br>One kid at a time.</div>
<p>This year I won the drawing for attending the opening day game. During that game, between innings, Lachemann brought a ball over to the stands. He curled his finger at a young person and the kid walked down to field level. I could hear Lachemann speaking, “Do you go to school? …Yeah, well, listen to the teacher. Do you have any brothers or sisters? Uh, huh. Don’t start any fights with her… Listen to your mom and dad… and don’t play video games all the time…” Great advice, and then he gave the kid the ball.</p>
<br><div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src=" http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z315/marker_from_parker/DSCN1435640x480.jpg" title="Eat your vegetables, clean your room, and take the trash out." alt="Eat your vegetables, clean your room, and take the trash out."><br> Eat your vegetables, clean your room, and take the trash out.</div>
<p>At the next game, I saw a young boy sitting across from us. I told the parents about what happened at opening day and said I didn’t know if this happened all the time. So, during a pause in the action, some people in the other section got the coach’s attention and between innings, he came over with another ball. “Hey kid, come here.” I couldn’t hear any more, but asked the parents later and they said Mr. Lachemann told their son to wipe his nose! That was nice to hear, and everyone smiled.</p>
<br><div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src=" https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSXEOf_ftbT34um6r_lGU3ubHZE-cf_e273PmGVUdYrUQe_es6r" title="It’s not easy, but someone’s got to do it!" alt=" It’s not easy, but someone’s got to do it!"><br>It’s not easy, but someone’s got to do it!</div>
<p>I watched the Rockies’ broadcast on July 3, and they had the Rockies first base coach mic’d up. I think he asked a young girl if it was alright if he gave her a ball. Of course, she responded in the affirmative. Using a stern voice he said, “Don’t you lie to me!” Then he asked her, “Do you live with your mother and father?” She said yes. “When your mother says take the trash out you take it out, when your father says to clean your room you clean it up. You got a cell phone?” No. “Don’t get one…because you can’t. You play video games?” Yes. “Don’t do that either, you’ll be a dummy like the rest of these idiots, that’s all they do is play video games. When you come home from school the first thing you do is your homework, all right?” He said all of that in one breath and all the adults around her appreciated his message and smiled.</p>
<br><div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src=" http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z315/marker_from_parker/DSCN1432640x480.jpg" title="At least one person has the guts to teach children." alt=" At least one person has the guts to teach children."><br> At least one person has the guts to teach children.</div>
<p>Later in the game, Lachemann (his nickname is “Latch”) spotted a young man dressed in a Dodger uniform and hat. He used the stern voice, “Turn that hat around first!” He did. “When you go to the bathroom you lift the toilet seat up. Don’t be peeing on the toilet seat, you understand that? You have a cell phone?” Yes. “Well, get rid of it. …When you eat your dinner, you eat up all your vegetables, all right? Once again everyone was smiling…</p>
<br><div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src="https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRhP42l1oSeJC62Ux7gJn1c0d6UlnVkbfGlcL6gQh5WYBMwZFXN" title="Lachemann has the right idea. When will the rest of us catch on?" alt=" Lachemann has the right idea. When will the rest of us catch on?"><br> Lachemann has the right idea. When will the rest of us catch on?</div><br>
<p>The third time was a charm. Rene Lachemann has a routine, and said basically the same things. He prefaces his questions with, “Hey, don’t you be lying to me.” He’s firm, but great with the kids and it’s nice to see someone in a position of authority have the guts to tell children to do the right thing. “The first thing you do when you come home from school is your homework. And, don’t fight with your sister.” Nice, and each kid gets a $30 baseball. Maybe it’s time for my grandson to meet him!</p>

<br><div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src=" https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQObgha-KWGOuVY4l_WKsiZGG2wUR01Aqo39kBuQ_uBA38ihvCw-w " title="Lois Lerner Targeted Conservatives and Took the 5th" alt="Lois Lerner Targeted Conservatives and Took the 5th"><br>Lois Lerner Targeted Conservatives and Took the 5th</div>
<p>Are you ready for the IRS to grow in size? It will, because it is the governmental agency tasked with enforcing the Obamacare tax. Can you wait? Members of the self-described “most transparent administration in history,” top IRS leaders took the 5th amendment when testifying before Congress. No, it doesn’t say they’re guilty, but does it do anything for President Obama’s claims of leading an honest administration?</p>
<br><div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src="https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTVhfmJ13muktL4Pw9psbm9Z_c4PtTESjQiC1Y8psFEE6RIIMA4" title="Okay, perhaps four, but not 292." alt=" Okay, perhaps four, but not 292."><br> Okay, perhaps four, but not 292.</div>
<p>The defenders of President Obama said that the Bush Administration’s IRS targeted liberal groups (so zeroing in on Tea Party groups is okay). Perhaps, but they didn’t go after liberal groups by the hundreds as the IRS did under the Obama administration. They didn’t do it to weaken their opponents in order to win an election.</p>
<br><div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src=" https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSX6-3qLZ7K83YMaKUwC_bkzISdvh8RplAYRZR9eSsqTiaPB_KG" title="We don’t remember Senator Joe McCarthy, we’ve learned nothing from history." alt="We don’t remember Senator Joe McCarthy, we’ve learned nothing from history."><br>We don’t remember Senator Joe McCarthy, we’ve learned nothing from history.</div>
<p>Remember Senator Joe McCarthy (R-WI)? He’s the one who accused everyone on the left of being a Communist during the early 1950’s. He terrorized liberals during that time, and caused a horrific fear - for many - of being prosecuted for associating with anyone who thought liberal thoughts - to continue well into the 1990’s. He didn’t understand that America would experience a severe backlash from the left during all of the following years. He kept accusing until he insinuated that Republican President Eisenhower was a Communist. That’s when his reign of terror ended. - These guys don’t remember? After McCarthyism, how could they possibly support a policy to target conservative groups? How did they think it would make conservatives – and/or members of the Tea Party feel? What might conservative administrations do in the future? Most importantly, is it right to target anyone? Of course not.</p>
<br><div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTuMoNYM8DO5EBR2jCvy2t4X3HQtL_wGIRq5mMYWcZDwO4pWSwf" width="330" height="250" title="IRS Star Trek Video." alt=" IRS Star Trek Video."><br> IRS Star Trek Video.</div>
<p>Not only did the IRS target Tea Party groups, but they wasted plenty of taxpayer dollars (estimated at $60,000) by producing several videos. One parodied Star Trek, and another showed team-building exercises, including line-dancing. Recall that they spent over $50 million on conferences, some held in Las Vegas. Congressman Trey Gowdy called them, “maliciously self-indulgent,” as many IRS employees stayed in luxury hotel suites.</p>
<br><div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRmwcEvHo1L8kMBT4PQbWv75Rc3WyjXqgebEg3JpKF143DtV-UtTw" width="330" height="250" title=" IRS Team Building, Line Dancing Video." alt="IRS Team Building, Line Dancing Video."><br>IRS Team Building, Line Dancing Video.</div>
<p>Should this agency, this corrupt IRS, run Obamacare? Will they be fair, or target conservatives when making health decisions, specifically, who should get an operation, and who should not? Should this wasteful agency hire 60,000 more workers? How much more of our taxpayer dollars will they waste?</p>
<br><div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src="http://www.dailyunconstitutional.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/the-irs-has-always-been-a-corrupt-syping-entity-used-to-subjigate-people...-lets-put-them-in-charge-of-health-care-290x300.jpg" width="250" height="250" title="You are not eligible for your operation because you are a Tea Party member." alt="You are not eligible for your operation because you are a Tea Party member."><br>You are not eligible for your operation because you are a Tea Party member.</div><br>

<p>On the popular call-in program, Washington Journal, host Greta Brawner asked guest Annalee Newitz on June 5, 2013, “What is the role of government in safeguarding the cities…preventing the mass extinction of urban areas?” As President Obama has said, Annalee replied that we must invest in research to eliminate our dependence on fossil fuels and heavily polluting materials (not a bad long-term goal, by the way - if the investment doesn’t break the bank). But she also wants governments to use ‘better’ city planning – as laid out in great detail by the authors of the United Nations’ Agenda 21. Why is that scary? Partly because those who have hijacked the environmental movement have specified how large your home should be (you don’t need so much room, you glutton!) and exactly how much lighting is “just enough.” How dare they?</p>
<br><div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src="https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT866USuv3ajuoS0_dMFHRAefb7kgNYio8cKD52TbTcvuVx9whE" title="To protect ‘biodiversity,’ you may not leave your city." alt="To protect ‘biodiversity,’ you may not leave your city."><br>To protect ‘biodiversity,’ you may not leave your city.</div>
<p>One way for humans to survive, Annalee says, is for them to move underground. Why would that happen? She uses arguments employed largely by the left. Radiation disasters, no doubt from an evil nuclear power (the U.S.!), or caused by right-wing war (how can war be conservative?), or even an industrial accident (those evil corporations)! Gamma rays from a nearby star (also proposed), although low, sounded like a higher probability to me.</p>

<p>Newitz admitted that high-density areas leave open the possibilities for pandemic diseases. The fix? In that case, everyone <b>must</b> get vaccinated. Not only <b>must</b> they do this for themselves, they <b>must</b> do so for their neighbors. Sounds like communitarianism to me. One caller actually brought that up, but she pooh-poohed it. Annalee, who probably means well, also said that these engineered cities need to be social organisms. They would care for the people in them, right down to jobs, health, and feeding them. Can anyone say, “nanny state?” As the Agenda 21 planners say, Annalee repeated that these cities will need to have farms (not suburbs) around them. She even uses the Agenda 21 terms, “urban sprawl” to describe suburbia, and “city centre” to direct us to what we now call the downtown. In addition, these high-density areas would contain skyscraper farms containing solar-powered greenhouses, some with every floor this way. Paid for, how?</p>

<p>Out of the way baboons, the U.N. knows a better way. Cities need to be flexible. <b>Have to</b>. This is a phrase, like <b>must</b>, used by those who <b>insist</b> on a solution. Generally, it’s their way – or the highway… Living underground sounds scary, but, don’t worry, earth-sheep! Annalee Newitz says that even though your cities would have vines everywhere and scarred bridges (from smart, self-healing materials, of course!) on the outside, your high-tech stuff, like the Internet and your beloved cell phones would still be there, inside. (Don’t believe for a second that those tyrants would be <i>benevolent</i> dictators.) Her book is titled, <i>Scatter, Adapt, and Remember – How Humans will Survive a Mass Extinction</i>. What a strange dream…unless we let the U.N. and the bullies push this horror on us. In that case, consign your descendants to a life <i>they</i> want them to live.</p>

<div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src=" https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQe9ehRnaU4p_5m8KIdJE-3nfMZqcjqDWJGmP-Ynr-DNxNT9pm1bA" title="Annalee Newitz" alt="Annalee Newitz"><br>Annalee Newitz</div>
<p>Annalee Newitz wrote a book about the future called, <i>Scatter, Adapt, and Remember</i>. Optimistic about our survival, the author, according to reviews, proposes ways we can overcome a mass extinction. That’s better than fine. You might not believe this, but I applaud those who think about the years to come and propose solutions.</p>
<br><div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src=" https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRZM9U05kLWIjt7zvJamEfjSUv_tY1n9KDp_0S9lyvYm9Ea5JnPbA" title="Scatter, Adapt, Remember" alt="Scatter, Adapt, Remember"><br>Scatter, Adapt, Remember</div>
<p>However, Newitz’ June 5, 2013 Washington Journal appearance revealed a bit more. She echoed many of the plans the United Nations has for the world’s population. If they could only control you, they would solve the world’s largest environmental issues, including: overpopulation, hunger, global warming (CO2 poisoning), and species extinctions. The world would be such a better place if unimportant and irrelevant <i>you</i> had no say in its future… Yikes, if only I were making this up! Welcome to <a href="http://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/content/documents/Agenda21.pdf" title="U.N. Agenda 21" target="_blank">U.N. Agenda 21</a>. (I dare you to Google “Agenda 21” – go ahead. However, it is not really voluntary, as many claim. Pay special attention to how they want to change consumption patterns… but I digress…)</p>
<br><div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSUleSGPbArCyL8a48kkrNJQ1wxh6esYf3qRAJjPvb56CaMmfiS" title="io9.com" alt="io9.com"><br>io9.com</div>
<p>Annalee’s website is: <a href=" http://io9.com/" title="io9.com" target="_blank"> io9.com</a>. As they say on <i>Red Eye</i>, check it out, check-it-outers. With host Greta Browner, Newitz discussed the biological city, mentioned the bio and alternative fuels, “that might be <i>grown</i>, in and around cities.” 50 years from now – but <b>only</b> if we use bio materials – “cities would look a lot [like] the way they do now.” (What if we don’t use bio materials?) She speculated that unsafe bridges would heal themselves by producing scar material. I don’t see how that could make a structure <i>safer</i>, but that’s just me, I guess. Cities 150 years out might be covered in vines or algae. (Remember President Obama’s comment about algae?) These genetically modified plants would provide fuel, food, water purification, and lighting. So, instead of burning nasty “fossil fuel to have your lights on at night, you might just have algae that glows.” She says the science is here. Really? Then why is no one using it?</p>
<p>Stay tuned for part III, here next week.</p>

<br><div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src="https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR7_qS-hWcxxjsVA7nT85DTd98LXsppcWU1dzNxvQnKwKZ6jRTMfw" title="Annalee Newitz" alt="Annalee Newitz"><br>Annalee Newitz</div>
<p>Annalee Newitz wrote an article recently, published in Discover Magazine and partly found online (you have to pay to see it all), about the future of cities. <a href="http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/Newit&showFullAbstract=1" title="She appeared on Washington Journal" target="_blank">She appeared on Washington Journal</a> on June 5, 2013 to speak about it. Newitz doesn’t talk about traditional growth, however. Annalee says, “…we’ll probably convert urban spaces into biological organisms.” No, these are not edible cities, but places where bridges repair themselves and show evidence of healing through scarring. “The biological city could provide us with food and energy security for millennia to come.” Her article is entitled, <i>How to Death-Proof the Cities of the Future.</i> It’s based on her book, <i>Scatter, Adapt, and Remember – How Humans Will Survive a Mass Extinction</i>. Ms. Newitz speculates that “the whole planet <i>may</i> be about to enter a new phase of mass extinction,” and most of these have been caused by climate change. So, here we go again… “The evidence is mounting…” she says. What evidence? Climate change (I just said that!), of course, which is the environmentalists’ new, more politically correct term for man-made Global Warming. More evidence for you, she says, is that so many species went extinct over the last 200 years. I’m not making this up!</p>
<br><div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTyKa7_phmbjqSK23a7hZyZZ5_xwxGrFlz0McnvMp_C7wOpCzKVtQ" title="Learning about Agenda 21" alt="Learning about Agenda 21"><br>Learning about Agenda 21</div>
<p>Newitz, a likeable personality, is a futurist to be sure, and is generally thoughtful when it comes to mankind's future. However, with regard to worldly disasters she appears in almost every way to support the United Nation's Agenda 21, the environmentalist's master plan for changing human society into a single communitarian state. Keywords are "sustainable" and "smart," among others. Listen for them.</p>
<br><div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src=" https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRO9JKYAaY7ZwMM2nmxc9IHZhbyOLUbB1HHCS6Q7qHtGaC4P9IDoQ" width="350" height="200" title="Agenda 21 – The Trojan Horse" alt="Agenda 21 – The Trojan Horse"><br>Agenda 21 – The Trojan Horse</div>
<p>”Cities are a place where most people will be living over the next, coming centuries..." Environmentalists (and others) are rooting for this. The U.N. estimates that by 2050, 67% of the world’s populations will be living in cities.” Remember, Agenda 21, comes from the U.N. They created this rigid plan for the 21st Century in the late 1980’s, for your descendants to live where the rule-makers want them to live – in cities, where they can be more easily manipulated and controlled. It must be our immediate goal to focus on cities, she says, “if we want to see the future of humanity progress.” Like most proponents of Agenda 21 and the new, radical environmental movement, she seems to think that if we don’t force people into cities against their will, we will regress, and, as we know, that simply is not true.</p>
<br><div style="text-align:center; font-size:85%"><img src="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTm8EzvRg4W4X-21EStDRs-QRo4mRx9ATTgUi35JGNbtMyo42X47g" title="The city is a process, according to Annalee Newitz." alt="The city is a process, according to Annalee Newitz."><br>The city is a process, according to Annalee Newitz.</div>
<p>Ms. Newitz then concludes, as do urban planners through Agenda 21, that “we need to be pushing our cities toward being more <i>survivable.</i>” This means preparedness, such as for natural disasters. That sounds okay. But then she tells us we must change the materials we make cities out of, like self-healing, or <i>smart</i> materials. As you recall, Agenda 21 calls for more <i>smart</i> growth. It took less than four minutes for her to utter the word, “sustainable,” the mainstay of Agenda 21.</p>
