Dept. of Energy
Does 
anybody out there have any 
memory 
of the reason given for the establishment of the
DEPARTMENT 
OF ENERGY
During the Carter 
Administration?
Anybody?
No?
Didn’t think so!
Bottom line ….
We’ve spent several hundred billion dollars in support of an
agency the reason
For which not one person who 
reads this can remember. 
Ready?
It was very simple..
And at the time everybody 
thought 
it very appropriate…
The
‘Department 
of Energy’
Was instituted 
on 
8-04-1977
TO LESSEN 
OUR DEPENDENCE
ON FOREIGN 
OIL.
Pretty efficient, huh?
AND NOW 
IT’S 2012,

35 YEARS 
LATER
….
AND THE 
BUDGET FOR THIS
NECESSARY 
DEPARTMENT
IS AT $24.2
BILLION A 
YEAR
IT HAS 16,000
FEDERAL 
EMPLOYEES
AND 
APPROXIMATELY
100,000
CONTRACT 
EMPLOYEES
AND LOOK 
AT THE JOB IT HAS DONE!
 

THIS IS WHERE YOU

SLAP YOUR 
FOREHEAD AND SAY
‘WHAT WERE THEY
THINKING?’
Ah, yes, good old 
bureaucracy…
And NOW _ 
we are going to 
turn 
the
Banking System, Health Care 
The Auto
Industry over to 
Government
ALL IN THE 
NAME OF CHANGE?
May God 
Help Us !!!
 
 
 
I remember when the Department of Energy was created. It came as the result of 1.) increasing fuel prices, 2.) dependence on imported oil and 3)promote fuel efficiency. But I don’t  hold Carter, nor the Department of Energy for the billions spent/lost since its creation. Energy lobbyists with their loot have rendered the concept and department ineffective. Take the BP Oil spill for example. BP knowingly violated/misled us all along! I think the script below is a distraction created to de-regulate what’s sorely needed.  The fuel industry would like nothing more than to be deregulated to keep us at the mercy of their pumps.

POETRY – “Revolution”

We are an evolution revolution

Waiting to happen

Can we see we’re evoling

But, by what solution

 

Revolution of medicine

There are cures for everything

Yet we remain the same

As though incurable is the blame

 

Revolution of relationships

Women can stand alone

Now men are all alone

Together we stand, divided we fall

We are as one, or none at all

 

Revolution of generations

Smart, clever, calculating, adjusting

They ask why?  What is your reply?

POLITCAL SPERMICIDAL INFORMATION VS. JUST THE FACTS PLEASE

Almost daily we see-read, and watch insulting false-incorrect spermicidal information flowing out of mouths of Republicans and the Fox News types. We send that info to each other and post the shocking lies in disbelief them – Republicans and the Fox News types that blatantly say what they say.

When also see the posted fact checks, such as who is really on welfare and who really the welfare president, Mr. George Bush was.
We know who really increased the debt, and increased taxes, three times more than any other president that would be Mr. Ronald Reagan. For the record Obama has raised it the least.
We know eight years of Bush policies all the way up to him leaving office in January of 2009 caused the loss of two million jobs. Please somebody tell Newt to stop saying Obama lost two millions jobs. Fact under Obama in 2009- 2010 only 300,000 jobs were lost, but it open to debate did Obama or did Bush residue cause those jobs to go away. Fact unemployment is back at 8% and going under from a high of 10% This is coming from a man who lost his job too, and still looking …hey in-box me if you need me…

Not many News service will call-out the lies the Republican machine will roll out, and they will say when caught in a lie … “Oh that’s not what I meant.”, but wait here is what we need to do … send facts to those conservative Republicans and Fox News types, on the fence swing voters and so called independents friends you might happen to have.

I know there is the worry you’ll end up debating someone who would rather eat his or her own boggers than submit to the facts. Well no you don’t have to, just send them the facts and then act like they do, ignore them. You can lead an elephant-ass to water but you can’t make-em drink.

I always send them correct information to them, even when I know they most likely will reject the truth because the truth was not they wanted. We, our, people of conciseness of any color or race, and religion know the facts, we know where we are in life, but they- Republicans and the Fox News TYPES DON’T KNOW THEIR ASS IS IN THE POOR HOUSE AND WHO PUT THEM THERE, but hey…by chance if you keep sending them the facts it’s the same liars who they voted for, you might get one to pull the head out of a hole.

Even though Fox News screams loud they are only talking to the same people who choose to be ignorant of facts and fall easy to being led by a corporation of elitist. Most Americans have figured out that is a circus show of easily proven lies.

What we have to be so-much more careful of and aware is WE CAN JADE OURSELVES WHEN WE PREACH TO THE CHOIR. The message we know need to get into the ears of the on fence swing voters and so called independents friends you might happen to have. Why, here is a lie easy to believe in for them. Black voters are the only reason Obama is the President….WRONG…. if not one Black person voted he still would have won…Fact

SEND THEM THE FACTS OFTEN:

Fact:
36 million Americans relied on food stamps. More than 24 million of them were white, 8 million were African American and 6 million were Hispanic of any race. Of the 46 million people living in poverty in America in 2010, the U.S. census revealed that 31 million were white.

Fact: there are only 35 million Black people and of the 8 million living in poverty 6 million are children.

Fact: That state Iowa is 96% white…let me repeat 96% white and has the one of the highest crimes rate percentage in America… will Fox News ever tell you that, I think not!

Fact:
Of the 49 million people without health insurance coverage, 37 million were white; 8 million were African American. Latinos of every race and Asian Americans represented the remaining largest ethnic groups.

Fact:
White Americans, poor and middle-class alike receive the vast majority of tax-funded government assistance programs, from monthly assistance to Social Security to food stamps.

Fact:
TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families), the program that provides aid to single mothers, is the most well-known welfare program, but the truth is that Social Security and Medicare are also social welfare services, funded by tax dollars. To that end, nearly 70 percent of all benefits of these programs go to white people. In fact, since African Americans have lower life expectancy, many work and pay into the Social Security and Medicare programs through their tax dollars, only to have white Americans, who have a longer life expectancy, benefit from the income they’ve left behind.

Fact:
Child Poverty in Rural America,” reveals that 57 percent of rural poor children were white and 44 percent of all urban poor children were white.

And for the person who will doubt these facts out of denial of going to look them up themselves. These figures were taking under George Bush and Obama

Kind of funny when you think of it, the poor whites that hate Obama will follow Fox News and never hear this. Yet the same people they vote for are the one keeping them down…

Kind of funny, Black people are stereotyped for saying “The Man Is Keeping Me Down”, and several of the Repubs running for office has said Blacks are the Welfare users, and we look for a hand outs, but the truth is it the other way around.

Kind of Funny, those poor white folk lost many of their blue collar jobs because people like Mitt sold their companies and shut the door on them.

It will be more of the same race baiting this time around of stupid ignorance that will keep the liars out of office with simple minded … “I don’t know what Obama is and where he was born, and he has ties to terrorist, and he not American enough type of crap and that train of thought will keep him office because there is enough intelligent people of all races, and religions who will reject it as they did in 2008
Family Values Obama or Newt
For the people because I come from the people Obama or Mitt
Has Obama made some mistakes yes, but he has not started two wars and then didn’t pay for them and left America broke and Fox blames him for it. No need to answer unless you got the facts

FactCheck.org : Newt’s Faulty Food-Stamp Claim
factcheck.org
Newt Gingrich claims that “more people have been put on food stamps by Barack Obama than any president in American history.” He’s wrong. More were added under Bush than under Obama, according to the most recent figures.

SOCIAL SECURITY – WTF???

Who Gets Your Social Security When You Die?????

As the Sister Says, Wake up!!!!!!

—KEEP PASSING THIS AROUND UNTIL EVERY ONE HAS READ IT…..
… SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT….

THE ONLY THING WRONG WITH THIS CALCULATION IS THEY FORGOT TO FIGURE IN
THE PEOPLE WHO DIED BEFORE THEY COLLECTED THEIR SOCIAL SECURITY!!!!
WHERE DID THAT MONEY GO?????????????

This was sent to me, I am forwarding it because it does touch a nerve
in me. This is another example of what Rick Perry called
“TREASON in high places” !!! Get angry and pass this on!

Remember, not only did you contribute to Social Security but your
employer did too. It totaled 15% of your income before taxes. If you
averaged only $30K over your working life, that’s close to $220,500.

If you calculate the future value of $4,500 per year (yours & your
employer’s contribution) at a simple 5% (less than what the govt. pays
on the money that it borrows), after 49 years of working you’d have
$892,919.98.

If you took out only 3% per year, you’d receive $26,787.60 per year and
it would last better than 30 years (until you’re 95 if you retire at
age 65) and that’s with no interest paid on that final amount on
deposit! If you bought an annuity and it paid 4% per year, you’d have a
lifetime income of $2,976.40 per month.

The folks in Washington have pulled off a bigger Ponzi scheme than
Bernie Madhoff ever had.

Entitlement my ass, I paid cash for my social security insurance!!!!
Just because they borrowed the money, doesn’t make my benefits some
kind of charity or handout!!

Congressional benefits —- free healthcare, outrageous retirement
packages, 67 paid holidays, three weeks paid vacation, unlimited paid
sick days, now that’s welfare, and they have the nerve to call my
social security retirement entitlements?

We’re “broke” and can’t help our own Seniors, Veterans, Orphans,
Homeless

In the last months we have provided aid to Haiti, Chile , and Turkey, Japan,
And now Pakistan ……home of bin Laden. Literally, BILLIONS of
DOLLARS!!!

Our retired seniors living on a ‘fixed income’ receive no aid nor do
they get any breaks while our government and religious organizations
pour Hundreds of Billions of $$$$$$’s and Tons of Food to Foreign
Countries!

They call Social Security and Medicare an entitlement even though most
of us have been paying for it all our working lives and now when it’s
time for us to collect, the government is running out of money. Why did
the government borrow from it in the first place? Imagine if the
*GOVERNMENT* gave ‘US’ the same support they give to other countries.

Sad isn’t it?

Uhmnnnnnn I like that………

Ariz. gun club offers Santa shoot

 

Want to improve the caliber of your family’s Christmas card this year? How about having your picture taken with Santa Claus and your choice of machine guns?

For a fee of $5 for members and $10 for non-members, the Scottsdale Gun Club in Arizona will arrange a Yuletide photo op with Santa and a selection of automatic weapons valued at $170,000.

“It’s been really fun,” said Brooke Rodda, a spokesperson for the club. “We’ve had a tremendous response from the community.”

The “unique” opportunity, Rodda said, permits families to handle weapons in a “safe, controlled environment.” About 500 people turned out for the club’s first shoot on Nov. 26, and Rodda expects more crowds for the second “Santa and Machine Guns” event on Dec. 10.

Among the firearms to choose from are M60s, M249s, M240s and a modified Ar15, as well as more traditional holiday props such as reindeer antlers.

The event isn’t attracting just gun enthusiasts: “It has a broader appeal from families to older people,” Rodda said.

But if firearms don’t exactly convey your holiday message, Rodda says don’t worry: Santa can be just as disarming for the camera without the weapons

Oprah’s……….back!!!

Oprah Winfrey’s Next Chapter kicks off in January.It’s a new show that will feature Oprah on her OWN cable network. In Next Chapter, The Mighty O will travel the world with celebrities, world leaders and everyday families. The show’s first guest is Rocker and American Idol Judge Steven Tyler. Oprah is trying to raise her profile a bit. Ever since her legendary daytime talk show ended its 25 year run, her web hits have been down on Oprah.com. OWN has also been struggling in the ratings.

One of my favorite shows on OWN is the reality show Welcome To Sweetie Pie’s. The show stars former Ike & Tina Turner Backup Singer/Dancer Robbie Montgomery, her son Tim Norman and family. The show airs Saturday nights at 9pm. Sweetie Pie’s is a popular restaurant in St. Louis. The show is a hit, and many people love it. You will fall in love with Ms. Robbie and her crew. The show has been renewed for a second season, and additional episodes will air next spring. Another addition to OWN is a new reality show starring Supermodel Beverly Johnson. The show, Beverly’s Full House, debuts in February and will also star Johnson’s daughter Anansa. In the 70’s and 80’s, Johnson was one of the world’s top supermodels.
