The following letter is my response to a form letter I received from Senator Max Baucus in which he touts his Health Care Reform legislation to Seniors.

Dear Senator Baucus,

I received your letter, which I noted in fine print in the lower right corner was “Prepared, Published and Mailed at Taxpayer Expense”. Was this really an effort on your part to inform your constituents or was it for political purposes to gain favor with gullible Montana senior citizens using someone else’s (taxpayer) money that your opponents in a future election will not be able to access?

There is a popular myth that lemmings embrace the self-destructive behavior of Neanderthalism. How else do you explain an entire society of defiant little creatures voluntarily diving off a cliff to their death. If it were true and every lemming succeeded, they would join the ranks of other extinct, primitive species from our planet…a list that includes the dodo bird and the Neanderthals that the inexplicable behavior is named after.

The Bush bashers in the liberal news media thought nothing of blaming our former President for every natural calamity to occur during his administration. Hurricane Katrina was the pinnacle of their journalistic ‘outhouse effect’ .

Even now some blame George W. for the terrible earthquake to strike Haiti. Naturally they identify the source of the tremors as the ‘Bush’s Fault’.

I think it’s high time the current Chief Executive begin to shoulder the blame for natural disasters. While Al Gore and his ‘Climate Change’ minions struggle with a plan on how to blame the recent volcano in Iceland on man-made CO2, I have a better idea. Why don’t we simply blame the air traffic mess on the ‘Barakano’?

Bill Clinton, once again, has wallowed into a self-made cesspool of disturbing innuendo with absolutely no factual basis to support his remarks. I’m referring to his warning to the public that the Tea-Party movement might result in an Oklahoma City-type bombing because the passions that the protests generate just might inspire someone to commit a heinous act. His remarks were disingenuous and inflammatory, sounding to me like; There’s the line in the dirt you coward, I dare you to cross it. (more…)

The recent passage of the Senate’s version of the Socialized Medicine bill by the House of Representatives proves that most members of Congress have forsaken their sworn duty to uphold the Constitution and to obey the will of the citizens of the U.S. They have developed an inexplicable desire to follow the reckless path of the Soviet Union and other failed Marxist experiments, and lead our country like lemmings, over the cliff to economic ruin.

There are between 12,000 and 39,000 registered lobbyists in Washington, D.C. (The discrepancy in numbers occurs because many agents are listed under several aliases). These American citizens (who are paid to represent entities other than themselves) manage to mingle with members of Congress and influence legislation in a manner that is forbidden for the rest of us. How did this come to be and why is it tolerated? (more…)

Ignorance is bliss until a person realizes his lack of awareness is a serious handicap. An acquaintance, knowing I embrace traditional political values and abhor ‘progressive’ experimentation, recently asked me if I secretly harbored ill-will towards President Obama. I responded, ‘The last thing I would wish upon this president, indeed any member of any administration, is for someone to fall victim to a fanatic who happens to disagree with them. To do so would not only show disrespect for the sacrosanct offices of our government, but would threaten the very foundations of our nation’s sovereignty…the first step toward anarchy’. (more…)

I continue to believe the Anthropogenic (man-caused) Global Warming scandal is a classic example of scientific fraud. I warned Daily Inter Lake readers of this back in 2007 in a 3-part Guest Opinion. At last, real climate scientists are ignoring threats to public funding of their research and their reputations to speak out on the subject. The evidence, not just incriminating e-mails, but irrefutable scientific facts, unveils an incredible plot to bilk citizens in the US and the EU. (more…)

The following letter is a response a friend of mine received from man whom I’ll call Mr. F, who offers a different perspective on the points I made in a recently posted opinion letter, “The Illusionist”. I note his comments in italics and my counterpoints beneath.

I think I will print out the “essay” and respond to it point by point.
But to start with, the first paragraph accuses Obama of “hawking a radical brand of socialism.” BS. I have listened to most of his speeches, and I cannot identify any “hawking of socialism.” What I hear are attempts to deal with some major economic problems such as the automobile industry, which is temporary receivership and will go back to pure capitalism next year. (more…)

Judging by the numbers of slack-jawed, doe-eyed admirers, Master Illusionist Barack Obama, continues to leave his audience spellbound as he zigzags across the country hawking his radical brand of socialism. The professional deceiver relies on a steady stream of well-orchestrated international blunders and other distractions to divert public attention away from the administration’s truly destructive goals of transforming America from a capitalistic society into one based upon the teachings of Karl Marx. Once the majority of the population are ushered like cattle into the stockyards of government dependency, the Illusionist-in-Chief and his wealthy sponsors will have won. The magician and his czars are ignoring our precious Constitution and Bill of Rights upon which our nation’s individual freedoms are founded. (more…)
