Sometime this year, we taxpayers will again receive another 'Economic
Stimulus' payment.
This is indeed a very exciting program, and I'll explain it by
using a Q & A format:
Q. What is an 'Economic Stimulus' payment ?
A. It is money that the federal government will send to taxpayers.
Q.. Where will the government get this money ?
A. From taxpayers.
Q. So the government is giving me back my own money ?
A. Only a smidgen of it.
Q. What is the purpose of this payment ?
A. The plan is for you to use the money to purchase a
high-definition TV set, thus stimulating the economy.
Q. But isn't that stimulating the economy of China ?
A. Shut up.
Below is some helpful advice on how to best help the U.S. economy by
spending your stimulus check wisely:
* If you spend the stimulus money at Wal-Mart, the money will
go to China or Sri Lanka .
* If you spend it on gasoline, your money will go to the
Arabs.
* If you purchase a computer, it will go to India , Taiwan or
China .
* If you purchase fruit and vegetables, it will go to Mexico ,
Honduras and Guatemala ...
* If you buy an efficient car, it will go to Japan or Korea .
* If you purchase useless stuff, it will go to Taiwan .
* If you pay your credit cards off, or buy stock, it will go
to management bonuses and they will hide it offshore.
Instead, keep the money in America by:
1) Spending it at yard sales, or
2) Going to ball games, or
3) Spending it on prostitutes, or
4) Beer or
5) Tattoos.
(These are the only American businesses still operating in the U.S. )
Conclusion:
Go to a ball game with a tattooed prostitute that you met at a yard
sale and drink beer all day !
No need to thank me, I'm just glad I could be of help.

VA Houston official bans mention of God
VA Bans Mention of God at Funerals for Vets
"The hostile and discriminatory actions by the Veterans Affairs officials in Houston are outrageous, unconstitutional and must stop," said Jeff Mateer, Esq., general counsel of Liberty Institute.
June 30, 2011
Dear Sam,
The Department of Veterans Affairs and its Director of the Houston National Cemetery, Arleen Ocasio, are engaging in religious viewpoint discrimination in violation of the First Amendment and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, by adding new incidents of religious hostility.
Since taking the directorship of the Houston facility in April, 2010, Arleen Ocasio has used her position to bully Christians, repeatedly trampling on the religious liberties of Veterans of Foreign Wars District 4, The American Legion Post 586, and the National Memorial Ladies.
On March 15, Director Ocasio told Nobleton Jones, Honor Guard Junior Vice Commander, that he couldn't say "May God grant you grace, mercy and peace" to grieving families.
"The hostile and discriminatory actions by the Veterans Affairs officials in Houston are outrageous, unconstitutional and must stop," said Jeff Mateer, Esq., general counsel of Liberty Institute. "Government officials who engage in religious discrimination against citizens are breaking the law. Sadly, this seems to be a pattern of behavior at the Houston VA National Cemetery."
Our friends at Liberty Institute have amended an earlier lawsuit against the VA that states the new violations against religious liberty include:
• VA Forbids Mention of God at Funerals for Veterans and Requires Families to Submit Prayer for Approval to the Government
• VA instructs the VFW and a Private Funeral Home that they may not present the option of prayer to families
• VA Tells Volunteers to Remove "God Bless" from Condolence Cards to Grieving Families
• VA Closes Cemetery Chapel; Uses it for Storage
You can read Liberty Institute's detailed report of Director Ocasio's offenses here.
TAKE ACTION
Director Ocasio has already been successfully sued this year for religious discrimination. Obviously, she is not qualified to be the director of a National Cemetery and should step down.
Send an email to U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs secretary Eric Shinseki. Ask him to 1) stop his department's religious discrimination and 2) relieve Director Ocasio of her duties.

gbtv Glenn Beck Bids Farewell and Reveals New Plans

Forward Article Marking the end of a media era, former Fox News host Glenn Beck signed off his program during a live broadcast Thursday, saying his decision to leave the show was “divinely inspired,” and promising to continue his fight to restore the values that made America great.
The final program that concluded his two-and-a-half year Fox run was vintage Beck. He lampooned the mainstream media, predicting that his new endeavors to GBTV.com would make them pine for the days when his television time was limited to only an hour a day.
Beck nostalgically recounted the unique features of his program, including its idiosyncratic reliance on chalk boards in an age of high-tech wizardry, and a red phone he used to challenge the Obama administration to call and defend its policies on air.
“This show has become a movement,” Beck said. “It’s not really a TV show anymore. And that’s why it doesn’t belong on TV. It belongs in your home.”
There have been reports of tension between Beck and the network, reportedly over advertisers who held back their support out of concern that Beck was too hot to handle. But Beck scoffed at the notion he may have been dropped by Fox News due to his controversial past statements, including his July 2009 remark that President Barack Obama was “racist” and harbored “a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture.” Beck later apologized for his choice of words.
On his last night Beck pointed out that his final program was live. No network that had fired an anchor would ever allow him live access to its audience to say whatever he wanted for a full hour, he said.
“I hope I have earned some level of your trust,” Beck said, “and at the same time I want to thank Roger Ailes, Rupert Murdoch, and everybody at this network for their trust.”
As the show progressed, Beck’s set was gradually disassembled. He said he was doing that to “restore” rather than “transform” the set to its original condition -- a gentle gibe directed at Obama’s left-leaning base, and also an allusion to Beck’s Restoring Honor rally held on the National Mall last August. By some accounts, that event attracted over half a million people.
Beck admitted during his last program what the left has always suspected -- that his controversial programs, at times, had been motivated by a sense of entertainment as well as ideology.
Sometimes, Beck confessed, “I only do things to hack the left off.”
That Beck’s program accomplished what most critics considered impossible for a 5 p.m. cable talk show is virtually undeniable. Viewership for his program exceeded 3 million per night at one point, astounding most media analysts.
Indeed, his program typically attracted more viewers than CNN, CNBC, and MSNBC combined, and he had the third-most watched program on cable news, with 2.2 million viewers, before announcing in April that he would be moving on to other ventures.
Beck was occasionally compared throughout his tenure to Howard Beale, the unhinged anchor played by Peter Finch from the 1976 movie Network, who urged viewers to go to fling open their windows and yell, “I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not going to take this anymore!”
But where the Beale character was irate, Beck proved himself to be one of the savviest stars in the media stratosphere in communicating with a devoted core audience.
In addition to his Fox program, Beck hosted the nation’s third most-listened to radio programs in the nation and published a string of best-selling books, including The Christmas Sweater, Glenn Beck’s Common Sense, and Arguing With Idiots. He also presented popular on-stage programs that toured from city to city.
At times, Beck’s show indeed did seem to verge on being part of the grass-roots conservative movement. His 9-12 Project, which he dedicated to rediscovering the spirit of national unity, faith, and purpose displayed the day after the 9/11 attacks, became a key player in the tea party movement that almost single-handedly stopped the seemingly unstoppable momentum toward rapid passage of the Obama administration’s healthcare reforms.
Although a last-minute switch of allegiance by blue dog Democrats did push the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act over the top, it did so without the single-payer medical system that progressives had hoped for.
Also, grass-roots activism and the backlash against “Obamacare” – much of it fed by Beck -- helped propel Republicans to a historic landslide victory in the 2010 midterm elections, handing them back control of the House of Representatives and ending the short-lived era of Democratic supermajorities in Congress.
Part of Beck’s magic with viewers was his tendency to eschew glitz in favor of talking in a personal, often emotional tone connected with viewers as if he were speaking with them one-on-one. And in that sense, Thursday’s farewell program was vintage Beck.
“It has been an amazing ride,” he said, “and I have worked with some amazing people, and I’ve made amazing friends -- mainly you.”
Later in the program he said, “You and I have done a lot together, and we’ve learned a lot together, and you’ve taught me a lot.”
From the beginning, weathering a firestorm of criticism in the mainstream media, Beck insisted his fight to defend endangered American values was heartfelt and for real.
In an October 2009 exclusive Newsmax interview, Beck said: “We are fighting people who want to tell us how to live our lives and what to do. We are fighting people that want power over us. We are fighting exactly the same people without the British accent that our Founding Fathers were fighting.”
Also in that interview, in what may have foreshadowed his decision to leave Fox News, he added, “I’m not about money. I mean, I love money, I’m a capitalist. I love to make money, but that’s not my value and principle. My principle is freedom and securing that freedom.”
Early in his Fox tenure, Beck risked a lot when he decided that his connection with his audience was strong enough that he could broach the taboo subject of religion and faith. Beck began to speak openly about his most cherished believes, and dared to touch on topics that at times sounded almost theological in perspective.
On Thursday, Beck said that he and his wife had wondered how it possibly could be “divinely inspired” that he should leave his program atop the pinnacle of the media world.
At first, Beck said, his agent thought his plan to leave Fox was part of a clever negotiating ploy.
But Beck had always said he would leave one day with “the changing of the seasons.”
One evening, amidst extraordinary success, he said he looked out over the New York skyline “overwhelmed with the feeling, ‘If you don’t leave now, you will not leave with your soul.’”
For Beck, who successfully fought a bout with addiction that nearly derailed a promising radio career, that was one risk he refused to take.
“As a guy who has traded my soul before,” he said Thursday, “I will not trade it again.”
Then he offered viewers some heartfelt advice: “Never want anything too much. It will destroy you.”
Beck invited viewers to visit his GBTV.com site and continue his unique conversation with America’s heartland.
Then he unveiled a list of names written on his iconic chalk board, speaking from a now-barren set and sharing the credit for the program’s remarkable accomplishments with all those who helped him to produce it.
His final words before signing off: “It is not the person that is leading the parade. It is not the person on the stage who gets all the credit. It is all the people behind them.
“It is all the people that have made this possible ... from the very beginning.
“...From New York ... goodnight America.”

New book about the Secret Service Thanks Luis Flores!
Interesting Secret Service Perspective
None of this surprises me at all. People who do not like GW are idiots, especially if they believe Obama at all!
A NEW BOOK.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the President's Secret Service:
Behind the Scenes with Agents in the Line of Fire and the Presidents They Protect.
by Ronald Kessler
18 May 2011
-----------------------------
This book about the Secret Service reveals an awful lot about the Presidents and Vice-Presidents . . . very interesting recap thus far:
JFK and LBJ= Philanderers of the highest order, both kept a lot of women in White House for affairs.
Both set up "early warning" systems for it and when their wives were nearby. Total immoral men.
In addition, LBJ was as crude as the day is long.
Richard Nixon= Weird, moral man but very odd and weird. Paranoid etc.
Horrible relationship with his family, almost a recluse.
Spiro Agnew= a nice, decent man, everyone was surprised at his downfall.
Jerry Ford= A true gentlemen who treated them with respect and dignity.
Jimmy Carter= A complete phony.
Would portray one picture of himself to the public and a very different one in private; i.e.,
he would be shown carrying his own luggage, suit cases were always empty, he kept empty one just for photo ops.
Wanted the people to see him as pious and a non drinker, he and family drank alcohol a lot.
Had disdain for the Secret Service, and was very irresponsible with the "football" nuclear codes.
Didn't think it was a big deal and would keep military aides at a great distance.
Would never acknowledge military or Secret service they were there to serve him.
Ronald Reagan= The real deal. Moral, Honest, respectful and dignified.
Treated Secret Service and everyone else with respect and honor. Would always thank everyone all the time.
He took the time to know everyone on a personal level.
One story was early on in Presidency …the President came out of his room with a side arm attached to his hip.
The Agent in charge said "Why the pistol Mr. President?"
Ronald Reagan replied, "In case you boys can't get the job done, I can help."
It was common for him to carry a pistol.
People do not know that when he met with Gorbachev, he had a pistol in his briefcase.
Upon learning that Gary Hart was caught with Donna Rice during the election Ronald Reagan said,
"Boys will be boys, but boys will not be President."
Nancy Reagan= Very nice but very protective of the President . . . the Secret Service was always caught in the middle.
Nancy would try to control what the President ate all the time (healthy) and he would say to the Agents "Come on you gotta help me out."
The Reagans rarely drank alcohol.
Secret Service said they could count on one hand the times the Reagans were served alcohol other than,
wine during dinner.
They made the comment for all the fake bluster of the Carters.
It was the Reagans who lived life as genuinely moral people.
George and Barbara Bush= Extremely kind and considerate. Always respectful.
Took great care in making sure the agents comforts were taken care of. They would bring them meals etc.
One time Barbara Bush brought warm clothes to agents standing outside a Kennebunkport .
One agent who was given a warm hat tried to nicely say no thanks when he was obviously freezing and
President Bush said "Son, don't argue with the first lady, put the hat on."
Bill Clinton= Presidency was one giant party.
Not trustworthy, he was nice because he wanted everyone to like him but life is just one big game and party to him.
Hillary Clinton= Another phony. Her personality would change the instant cameras were near.
She hated with open disdain the military and Secret Service. Again another one who felt people are there to serve her.
She was always trying to keep tabs on Bill Clinton.
Al Gore= An egotistical ass who was once overheard by his Secret Service detail when he told his son
he needed to do better in school or he "would end up like these guys" and pointed to the Secret Service agents.
G. W. Bush= They loved him and Laura Bush.
They said no one is a nicer person than Laura Bush who never has a harsh word to say about anyone.
The Bush's went out of their way to take care of the Secret Service and made sure they were well cared for with meals and other comforts.
GW was the most prompt of the Presidents. He ran like a well oiled machine.
He was also the most in shape who had a very strict work out regimen.
The Bush's made sure their entire administration understood to respect and be considerate of the Secret Service.
Karl Rove was the one who was the most caring of the Secret Service in the administration.
Barack Obama- Clintons all over again.
Hates the military and looks down on the Secret Service.
None of this surprises me at all. People who do not like GW are idiots, especially if they believe Obama at all!
