History Repeats

Most of you may not remember a man named Chamberlain who tried to make deals with Hitler so all could live in peace except for the folks that lived in the countries given to Hitler so he would stop being a bad man. Didn't work then and will not work now with the man many call "Hitler the Second". Yes I am calling Putin a loud mouth except this one is worse as he has the BOMB. Europe is doing the same thing now that they did with Hitler. They are willing to give this Russian clown just one country thinking he will stop. Most of us thought maybe Europe had learned a lesson but it appears they have not. Still gutless and trying to make deals with a KGB agent is nuts.

Of course they are no worse then the boy wonder here in America. I thought I had seen it all with this weak kneed president but he has surpassed all expectations of being a gutless cowardly leader. Anyone who thought we would get anything more then we have needs to remember, OBAMA was a community organizer and an empty shirt while in the IL senate.

Our world is in worse shape then at anytime I can remember and we have no leader to step up. If you say OBAMA is a leader, get a life. He is weak, doesn't care, slowly destroying America and we are like the frog in boiling water.

My time left is short here and I feel great sorrow for those who are younger as you are inheriting a country on decline and doesn't appear able to right itself. So long as you elect people who want to destroy our country, take our freedoms, make us weak, all is lost. All great countries fade away and we are going very quickly.

One more thing, do you remember a billboard that had a picture of President Bush asking "Do You Miss Me Now? I do and I MISS HIM NOW AND HAVE SINCE HE LEFT.  

Another Military Dismissal of an officer who does not conform to Obama's...

Lt. Col Matthew Dooley, a West Point graduate and highly  decorated combat veteran,  was an instructor at the Joint Forces Staff College at the National Defense University. 

He had 19 years of service and experience, and was considered one of the most highly qualified military instructors on Radical Islam & Terrorism. He taught military students about the situations they would encounter, how to react, about Islamic culture, traditions, and explained the mindset of Islamic extremists. Passing down firsthand knowledge and experience, and teaching courses that were suggested (and approved) by the Joint Forces Staff College.

The course, "Perspectives on Islam and Islamic Radicalism", which was suggested and approved by the Joint Forces Staff College, caught the attention of several Islamic Groups, and they wanted to make an example of him.  They collectively wrote a letter expressing their outrage, and the Pro-Islamic Obama Administration was all too happy to assist.

The letter was passed to Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Martin Dempsey. Dempsey publicly degraded and reprimanded Dooley, and Dooley received a negative Officer Evaluation Report almost immediately (which he had aced for the past 5 years). He was relieved of teaching duties, and his career has been red-flagged “He had a brilliant career ahead of him. Now, he has been flagged.”

Richard Thompson, Thomas More Law Center "All US military Combatant Commands, Services, the National Guard Bureau, and Joint Chiefs are under Dempsey's Muslim Brotherhood-dictated order to ensure that henceforth, no US military course will ever again teach truth about Islam that the jihadist enemy finds offensive, or just too informative."

Former CIA agent Claire M. Lopez (about Lt. Col. Dooley)..." The Obama Administration has demonstrated lightning speed to dismiss military brass that does not conform to its agenda, and not surprisingly, nobody is speaking up for Lt. Col. Dooley.

Col. Dooley has now been added to the 9 generals the Obama administration has summarily dismissed for no other reason than they are great American military citizens."

IT'S A SAD DAY FOR THIS COUNTRY WHEN GOOD LOYAL MEN LIKE THIS GET THROWN UNDER THE BUS BECAUSE NOBODY HAS THE COURAGE TO STAND UP!

Share this if you would.  Let’s bring some attention to this.

Fiction and Fact

What's wrong with with this picture? The picture is of the five first line US nuclear carriers docked together in one place. Just like Battleship Row, Pearl Harbor , December 7, 1941. This picture was taken the February 2014 in Norfolk , Virginia … Obama ordered 5 nuclear carriers into harbor for "routine" (?) inspections. Heads of the Navy were flabbergasted by the directive but had to comply as it was a direct order from their Commander-in-Chief. The carriers were all pulled out from the MIDDLE EAST and the Afghanistan support role leaving our land forces naked and exposed! NORFOLK, VA. (February 8, 2014). This is the first time since WWII that five nuclear powered aircraft carriers were docked together. USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69), USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77), USS Enterprise (CVN 65), USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75), and USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) are all in port at Naval Station Norfolk , Va. , the world’s largest naval station. Knowledgeable sources stated that this breached a long standing military protocol in the Navy meant to avoid a massive enemy strike on major US forces. (U..S. Navy photo by Chief Mass Communication Specialist Ryan J. Courtade/Released). Obama is ‘Commander in chief’. This ordering of most of the Navy's capitol ships into one place is unprecedented since Pearl Harbor !  This could be the creation of a false flag atomic incident too stupid for any enemy to pass up. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Also, why did the following happen?  Is this a routine changing of the guard?  Or what?  I'm afraid of the "what"! Major General Paul Vallely (Ret) : This long list of senior military officers and one sergeant major comes at no great surprise to me because of the direction this country is heading.   Here is the list of our military elite who have been purged or fired under Obama: Commanding Generals fired: · General John R.

That grouping of ships at Norfolk did include five aircraft carriers (the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, USS George H.W. Bush, USS Enterprise, USS Harry S. Truman, and USS Abraham Lincoln, but they were not all "first line" carriers, they were not diverted from the Middle East or ordered into port for "routine inspections," nor was this the first time such a collection of carriers had taken place since World War II: 

The USS Enterprise (CVN 65) was no longer a "first line" ship at the time this photograph was taken, as it had already begun the process of deactivation at the beginning of December 2012 (a step towards its planned decommissioning) and "will never again go to sea under her own power."

As noted by the U.S. Navy, the other four aircraft carriers all had planned, routine reasons for being in port at Norfolk in December 2012; none of these ships was abruptly or unexpectedly "ordered into harbor for routine inspections":

DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER's deployment to the Persian Gulf region was extended recently when her replacement, the Pacific carrier NIMITZ, needed to undergo emergency repairs. IKE is home for about two months to have her flight deck resurfaced, then will return to Central Command's Fifth Fleet.

Sheds cover the ABRAHAM LINCOLN's flight deck as she prepares to cross to Newport News early next year to begin a three-and-a-half-year refueling overhaul, the most comprehensive refit a carrier will undergo in its 50-year service life.

HARRY S. TRUMAN has completed most of her training and is expected to deploy to the Fifth Fleet region later this winter.

GEORGE H. W. BUSH completed a major overhaul in early December and is in the early stages of deployment work ups.

The USS Dwight D. Eisenhower had returned to Norfolk three months earlier than previously scheduled in order to resurface its flight deck prior to a planned redeployment; the USS Harry S. Truman had returned to Norfolk from its previous deployment in December 2010 and as of December 2012 was still awaiting redeployment orders; the USS George H.W. Bush had completed an overhaul and remained at Norfolk while conducting sea trials in preparation for an upcoming training cycle and deployment; and USS Abraham Lincoln remained at Norfolk while awaiting departure for a refueling complex overhaul at Newport News shipyard (which was delayed due to a lack of funding).

The December 2012 occurrence wasn't the first time since World War II that five aircraft carriers (or five nuclear powered aircraft carriers) had all been docked in the same place at the same time. A similar coincidental grouping took place at Norfolk in July 1997, and at the time a Navy spokesman stated that such a move was "not considered a security risk":

For the first time, all five Norfolk-based nuclear-powered aircraft carriers will be moored at their home port, and all of it in time for Independence Day.

For nearly a week beginning [2 July 1997], the flattops will be nextdoor neighbors along the piers at Norfolk Naval Base, Navy spokesman Mike Maus said.

"It just worked out that way," Maus said. "There was no plan to say, 'Let's bring all the carriers in for the Fourth of July.' Between scheduling for normal routine operations and shipyard stuff, that's how it happened to fall into place."

Usually only two or three of the carriers are in port together, with others out on exercises or deployments to the Mediterranean Sea, or at the shipyard for repairs, Maus said.

All five will remain at the base until [8 July], when the USS Theodore Roosevelt will head to Newport News Shipbuilding for an overhaul that is expected to take about a year.

Four carriers will be beside each other, with two each at Piers 11 and 12. The fifth will be at Pier 7, the other pier deep enough to accommodate an carrier.

The Navy doesn't consider having all five in port at the same time to be a security risk, Maus said: "At this particular time, we don't really have much of a threat from anybody."

You probably thought the real answer was Barack Hussein Obama. This is worse.

Wanna know something scary? She may be the next socialist president if you don't forward this to everyone that you know who cherishes our way of life.

It’s never too early to think about 2016!

HILLARY CLINTON IS NOT THE ANSWER.  SAY NO TO HER!

Social Security

ALERT EVERYONE YOU KNOW. THIS AFFECTS ALL OF US.*

*Subject:* SOCIAL SECURITY becomes FEDERAL BENEFIT CHECK

Have you noticed, the Social Security check is now referred to as a "Federal Benefit Payment"?

I'll be part of the one percent to forward this. I am forwarding it because it Touches a nerve in me, and I hope it will in you.

Please keep passing it on until everyone in our country has read it.

The government is now referring to our Social Security checks as a Federal Benefit Payment. 

This isn't a benefit. It is earned income! Not only did we all contribute to Social Security but our employers did too.

It totaled 15% of our income before taxes.

If you averaged $30K per year over your working life, that's close to $180,000 Invested in Social Security.

If you calculate the future value of your monthly investment in social security ($375/month, including both your and your employers contributions) at a meager 1% Interest rate
compounded monthly, after 40 years of working you'd have more than $1.3+ million dollars saved!

This is your personal investment.

Upon retirement, if you took out only 3% per year, you'd receive $39,318 per year, or $3,277 per month.

That's almost three times more than today's average Social Security benefit of $1,230 per month,according to the Social Security Administration

(Google it - its a fact).

And your retirement fund would last more than 33 years (until you're 98 if you retire at age 65)! I can only imagine how much better most average-income people could live in retirement if our government had just invested our money in low-risk interest-earning accounts.

Instead, the folks in Washington pulled off a bigger Ponzi scheme than Bernie Madoff ever did.

They took our money and used it elsewhere.

They forgot (Knew) that it was OUR money they were taking.

They didn't have a referendum to ask us if we wanted to lend the money to them.

And they didn't pay interest on the debt they assumed.

And recently, they've told us that the money won't support us for very much longer.

But is it our fault they misused our investments?

And now, to add insult to injury, they're calling it a benefit, as if we never worked to earn every penny of it.

Just because they borrowed the money,
doesn't mean that our investments were a charity !

Let's take a stand.

We have earned our right to Social Security and Medicare.

Demand that our legislators bring some sense into our government.

Find a way to keep Social Security and Medicare going, for the sake of that 92% of our population who need it.
*Then call it what it is:
Our Earned Retirement Income.*

99% of people won't forward this.

Will you?

*You can bet I WILL !!!*

Let's be insensitive for a change

INSENSITIVITY ·        I was devastated to find out my wife was having an affair but, by turning to religion, I was soon able to come to terms with the whole thing.  I converted to Islam, and we're stoning her in the morning! ·        The wife suggested I get myself one of those penis enlargers, so I did .... she's 21 and her name's Lucy. ·        Went to the pub with my girlfriend last night.  Locals were shouting "pedophile!" and other names at me, just because my girlfriend is 21 and I'm 50.  It completely spoiled our 10th anniversary. ·        My son was thrown out of school today for letting a girl in his class give him a hand-job.  I said "Son, that's 3 schools this year!  You'd better stop before you're banned from teaching altogether." ·        Just been to the gym. They've got a new machine in.  Could only use it for half an hour, as I started to feel sick.  It's great though.
