I get many of these messages in email passed along to me on a regular basis. I haven’t tried to go out an validate whether it is true or not. Emotionally, it feels like it is true, given the current trend in the government. But then that IS the intent of these messages, to charge someone up emotionally. If you can prove either way, please reply to this post and share.
This is an insult and a kick in the butt to all of us… Get mad and pass it on – I don’t know how, but maybe some good will come of this travesty.
If the immigrant is over 65, they can apply for SSI and Medicaid and get more than a woman on Social Security, who worked from 1944 until 2004.
She is only getting $791 per month because she was born in 1924 and there’s a ‘catch 22.’ It is interesting that the federal government provides a single refugee with a monthly allowance of $1,890. Each can also obtain an additional $580 in social assistance, for a total of $2,470 a month.
This compares to a single pensioner, who after contributing to the growth and development of America for 40 to 50 years, can only receive a monthly maximum of $1,012 in old age pension and Guaranteed Income Supplement.
Maybe our pensioners should apply as refugees! Consider sending this to all your American friends, so we can all be ticked off and maybe get the refugees cut back to $1,012 and the pensioners up to $2,470. Then we can enjoy some of the money we were forced to submit to the Government over the last 40 or 50 or 60 years Please forward to every American to expose what our elected politicians Have been doing over the past 11 years – to the overtaxed American.

Biased reporting in the media is suspended to report biased reporting in the media

It can’t be true. I don’t beleive it. Why are people saying that the major television networks and newpapers are biased. You’d never now by reading and watching them… Then again, when it comes to this presidential election, this has to be the most bias I’ve ever seen in my life. And I grew up on New York City media! Don’t you wish there was an accurate way to tell if the reporting your getting is true?
I’ve always suspected it, but never has confirmation from anyone inside the media, until now.
Columnist Michael Malone jeopardizes his long career and write about it in his article: Media’s Presidential Bias and Decline, A Look at Slanted Election Coverage and the Reasons Why In his article he writes…
The sheer bias in the print and television coverage of this election campaign is not just bewildering, but appalling. And over the last few months I’ve found myself slowly moving from shaking my head at the obvious one-sided reporting, to actually shouting at the screen of my television and my laptop computer.
But worst of all, for the last couple weeks, I’ve begun — for the first time in my adult life — to be embarrassed to admit what I do for a living. A few days ago, when asked by a new acquaintance what I did for a living, I replied that I was “a writer,” because I couldn’t bring myself to admit to a stranger that I’m a journalist.
This article is quite the eye opener, it’s worth the read. Tell me what you think, are they biased?

Does Google Filter Conservative Blogs?

I’ve been watching the search categories that WordPress manages to determine where search engine hits come from and what kinds of terms are currently popular.I don’t have any significant following so most of my hits either come from first hand knowledge, WordPress Tag searches or search engines (Google).
The hits I have gotten from Google via searches have significantly dropped off in the last two weeks. Coincidence?
If the democrats re-introduce the fairness act, republicans should counter with regulating search results and the access to information in an unbiased manner.

God punishes America because we don’t kill Jews

Imagine the mind of the person or the belief system that espouses that kind of thinking. Care to guess where it comes from?
Still don’t know…
First clue: It was spoken during a sermon.
Second Clue: At a mosque.
Clear yet?
The current economic turmoil in the US is “divine punishment,” Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh said Friday.
It’s because of Americas support for Isreal.
Those guys are nuts! I guess this just shows I haven’t had an Ivy-League education. I’m just not sensitive to their belief system, and I still maintain a sense of moral clarity. What about you?

McCain and Obama miss the mark on the economy.

Excellent explanation about where money comes from. It’s about 40 minutes and well worth the watch. If you watch it, think about what happens to our system, when millions of borrowers are given loans when they couldn’t afford to pay them back. (i.e. No Doc Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac)
