February, 27,2009

After reading my e-mails and things written in the newspapers mentioning Rush Limbaugh, I thought that I should check up on him to see what he says. I don't like to comment on any subject unless I know something about it.

Unfortunately his show comes on at 12 PM to 3 PM. That is when I take my nap. However, I decided to listen for a five day period so that I could hear what he says.

I don't know what I was expecting, but all he did was read newspapers and play audio clips of government officials. He did take a few phone calls, but they just discussed what was already covered. What did I miss?

Oh yes, there were some funny parodies too and one hour of, "Women Only", calling to say why they didn't like him. That didn't work because the women calling were saying nice things about him.

Limbaugh is making the 'Women who don't like me only' hour, a permanent feature on his show now.

After a week of Limbaugh, I still do not know what people are complaining about. Do the folks that complain even listen to him? I would like to hear from regular listeners to his show.

Yes, Al Gore Really Invented It.

If you remember, Al Gore said that he invented the Internet. That statement was totally false, but did you know that he did invent something...Global Warming.

In todays George Will column, George says the earth is in a global cool down and cites the facts and figures to prove it. George is backed by hundreds of scientists who state the same thing.

Polar ice caps are rapidly increasing in size, Ocean levels are dropping, temperatures around the world that have been going down for over 10 years. These are the same 10 years that Gore has been touting his phony movie to all of our children and grandchildren in schools around the country.

As you know by the writings on my Blog that I have shown you websites which have backed me up about the warming scam. There were temperature charts and Sun spot pictures etc. showing cooling, not warming. The news media have faithfully reported every false statement that Gore has ever uttered without even checking the facts.

I get my facts from places other than the N.Y. Times and CNN. I read large amounts of data every day mostly from the net. My accuracy seems to be ahead of the junk that one news source feeds to all of the other news parrots.

The news outlets even use the exact wording. Remember when every news reporter was saying “George Bush has no GRAVITAS? How many times had you ever heard that word in a news report before or since then. One reporter after another used the exact word for days and then it never came up again.

There is no story, it is just one reporter repeating what another is saying. They don't go out and find a story, they parrot someone else's story word for word even when it is not true.

I ask you, my readers, to check news stories for yourself for truthfulness. There are many good alternative sources on the Internet. For my lessons on the economy I read Walter E. Williams. From George Mason University. He writes so clearly that even I can understand what is going on. Much of my predictions are based on his writings.

Please watch this short video by DR. Williams:

Dr. Thomas Sowell is my second most favorite economist. A brilliant mind as well.

More on Rich or Poor

In a past Blog I wrote about why we need rich people. Some of you may disagree to some extent and that's OK, but lets do a short comparison between the two alternatives.

The U.S. is the richest country in the world while most of the continent of Africa contains the poorest people in the world. In Africa, a large number of the citizens are hungry and many are sick and dying because of poverty. They destroy their forests to get fuel for cooking causing the land to become a creeping desert.

Years ago rich settlers from Europe began living in Africa because of the natural resources of rubber, tin, gold, cocoa, coffee and diamonds. The native laborers worked and were paid wages that enabled them to afford a modest but much better life style. The settlers built railroads, roads, hospitals etc. This lasted for many years until the local leaders drove the settlers out. Now when you see Africa without the rich settlers, you see rusted railroad cars, rusted trucks, broken roads and bridges, people starving and dying from treatable illnesses.

The United States with it's greedy rich people has the better health care and better nutrition for it's poorest people than any African nation. Mexico has very few rich people and I don't see any Americans rushing to the border to get in to that country.

So, as flawed a system as we may have here at home, how many of us would want to drive out the wealthy citizens like the Africans did?

I Like Rich People

Yes, it's true. In these days of pitting the poor against the rich I would like to defend the wealthy for a change.

Rich people, enabled me to buy my home, several cars, appliances, pay hospital bills and do so many other things that I could not have done without waiting for many years to save for them. How many of us could do without credit cards?

Wealthy people, not poor peple, hire workers and pays their wages. Without wealth, the world would consist of only farmers and hunters. There would be no electricity, roads, hospitals or running water. The population would be very small and extremely poor.

Remember that money is just an I.O.U. for work done. If you can accumulate it, then you can do many things such as hiring people to help you run a business. If money is given to folks without any work behind it then it is worthless. There is no value in counterfeit money. Money has to keep moving in order to have value. It must have work behind it.

In the 1930's the rich were reduced in great numbers and we all know what happened back then. Without the wealthy many went hungry and many died from lack of medical care. How do I know? I was born in 1930 and I remember living in a three room shack for 9 years with little to eat or wear. Many of us were poor then, but believe me, misery does not love company I was there.

So when I hear people say let's take the money off of those bad rich folks, I would like them to tell me who will hire people, build factories, develop new medical devices, donate to charities? Not poor people with no money.

We have to work with the people who have the money to create jobs, they are the ones who spread the wealth around. Our Federal Government does not produce one penny's worth of value, it just takes it from it's citizens and redistributes it after taking a huge chunk for overhead.

Illegals get loans from B.O.A.

On Feb. 13, 2007 Bank of America began to issue credit cards to illegals who had no identification and now B.O.A wants a bailout because their credit losses are too high to continue in business.

I was outraged in 2007 and now I am beyond outrage to have to give money to a bank that thumbed their nose at me less than 2 years ago. There were many who opposed this stupid practice of giving credit without any I.D. They will never be able to collect any of the money that they gave to the illegals.

Here are two of the hundreds of sites that reported this story in 2007.

No one listens to us taxpayers but they want our money to correct their idiotic mistakes.

Just as I predicted

On this Blog, back in August, I predicted a very cold winter due to sun spot activity being so low. I believe global warming is caused by solar activity, not human beings and cars. This correct prediction by me seems to prove I was right.

The original prediction was about four pages back on this blog. You can verify it for yourself.
