Tulsa Time

In Tulsa, OK this morning waiting to get a flat fixed. Warm and humid here.
I see the New and Improved Democrat/Obama healthcare plan will include the creation of 53 new bureaucracies. Would someone please tell me how that will encourage efficiency and lower costs? I know, stupid question.
Think about the following: If you belong to you, then you are responsible for you. If you choose to cede the responsibility for your own upkeep, would it not follow that you also cede your authority? If that is the case, would it not also follow you are ceding ownership to yourself. He who controls a thing, owns a thing. For those who wish to live in thrall to a government, that is fine. Go ahead and volutarily sell yourself into slavery. Just know that is what you are doing. When you take the man's money, you take the man's orders. You are owned. You are a slave. You are chattel. To be kept in the manner the master sees fit. To be disposed of when you are of no further use.
If that is your wish, have right at it. But, be kind enough to leave me out of it. I do not wish to be owned, cared for, or controlled.
Be very aware: If you choose to give someone else, be it government or single man, the responsibilty and authority to take care of you, you are also giving that entity control of you. That is ownership my friend. Are you really willing to live the rest of your life as an owned slave?

In Spokane, WA

I left Atlanta, GA Wednesday evening and picked up a load in LaVergne, TN. Thurdsay morning, I lit out for the Northwest. A good run.

Once I got up into the north country, the temperatures dropped and life was good. Shut the truck down and open the windows to sleep. Nice!

I had hoped to meet my youngest brother in Sturgis, SD. He drove his converted bus up from San Francisco to the bike rally there. Due to some delays, he got there well after I did. So.... we missed each other. Another time perhaps.

I will unload in the morning and am hoping they (dispatch) have freight out of here. If not, I have paperwork and stuff to do.

I will write more soon. Gonna bag it now.

Criminals in Washington continue their assault on the United States

OBAMA’S CENSUS WILL FOREVER CHANGE THE COURSE AND
COMPLEXION OF MODERN AMERICA
RIGGED, ILLEGAL, RACIAL, and INTRUSIVE
By Paul L. Williams, Ph.D.
Strike one
In violation of Article 1, Section 2, of the U.S. Constitution, President Barack Obama has
assumed complete control of the 2010 Census.
This Article, which concerns the legislative rather than executive branch of government,
stipulates that the “enumeration” be conducted by a commerce official under the
supervision of the Senate and the House of Representations. It reads:
Representation and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which
may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers … . The actual
Enumeration shall be made within three Years after the first Meeting of the Congress of
the United States, and within every subsequent Term of ten Years, in such Manner as
they (the House of Representatives and the Senate) shall by Law direct.
When the Oval Office side-stepped this stipulation, Senator Judd Greg, who was then Mr.
Obama’s choice as Secretary of Commerce, announced his withdrawal from
consideration.
“This was simply a bridge too far for me,” Mr. Greg said.
Strike Two.
In violation of Title 8 Section 1325 of the U.S. Code, Mr. Obama has ordered federal
border patrol officials to scale down enforcement so that the Census will be artificially
swollen by the influx of millions of illegal Latinos.
Defending Mr. Obama’s illegal directive, Deputy Census Director Preston Jay Waite told
the press that raids on illegals occurred during the population count would make a
“distrustful group” less likely to cooperate with government workers who are supposed to
obtain an accurate head count of the people living in the U.S.
Strike Three.
Mr. Obama has adopted a further means to guarantee the outcome so that the
redistribution will serve his agenda.
A whopping $14 billion has been set aside for the Census.
With this money, Mr. Obama has obtained the services of “Census partners” - -
organizations that will assist the Commerce department in the head count.
A lion’s share of the $14 billion has been set aside for a “community-based” organization
that specializes in fraud and deceptive practices.
Why would Mr. Obama go to such extremes for the sake of the Census?
The answer is simple.
The tally will re-chart the political map of the country.
It will determine which states gain seats in Congress and which ones lose them.
It will divert billions in federal funds to states and cities with the greatest number of
illegal aliens.
And it will forever change the racial composition of the home of the free and the land of
the brave.
To conduct the 2010 Census, President Obama has partnered with more than two hundred
civic organizations, including the following:

Few, if any, of the above groups serve the common good.
They represent the specific interests of diverse racial and ethnic groups.
Most are concerned with the specific concerns of blacks, Asians, and Latinos.
Not one of Mr. Obama’s partners represents the despised race of white Europeans who
established this nation 233 years ago.
Excluded from the list are such well-established groups as the Elks Club, the Moose
Lodge, the Daughters of the American Revolution, the German American Society, the
French American Foundation, the Polish American Historical Association, the St. George
Society, and the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick.
One group stands to profit more than any other.
The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, better known as
ACORN, will be raking in billions from the massive undertaking.
Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachman contends that President Obama has forked
over $8.4 billion to ACORN since he has come into office, a number that far surpasses
the $53 million given in the past 15 years.
The $8.4 billion, according to Ms. Bachman, has been doled out from the public coffers
to subside ACORN’s participation in the Census.
“ACORN has received $53 million from 1994 to today, but now, since President Obama
has come into office, he is making available $8.5 billion – with a ‘b’ - to ACORN, an
organization that is repeatedly under indictment for voter fraud in multiple states across
the country,” Ms. Bachmann says.
Ms. Bachman, who will not complete all the questions in the Census Form because they
go beyond what the law requires, adds: “”This is the last organization that should have
the taxpayer’s wallet open to them but unfortunately, under President Obama, he is
multiplying the amount of money available to them.”
ACORN calls itself a community-based advocacy group that serves low to moderate
income families. The group, in fact, is a multi-million-dollar, racially charged
conglomerate. Its liberal political agenda is driven primarily by a handful of political
thugs for hire.
ACORN promotes economic policies (like raising the minimum wage), but doesn’t want
to abide by them.
Recently, the group, ACORN sued the state of California to get out of paying its own
employees the minimum wage, and even fought their efforts to create a union.
Before “subprime” became a household word, ACORN waded into the mortgage market,
supporting policies that helped lay the groundwork for the catastrophic lending collapse
of 2008. Working with another activist group, the Center for Responsible Lending,
ACORN lobbied legislators and banks to ensure that any person, regardless of credit
history, income, or assets, would qualify for a mortgage. They mastered the art of
pressuring banks – often through radical and controversial methods – to provide subprime
loans to all comers. It was many of these “toxic” loans that defaulted and sparked the
subprime mortgage crisis.
ACORN’s influence extends to the political sphere as well. The group gained national
headlines during the 2008 election when its workers turned in fraudulent voter
registration files, which included the names of the Dallas Cowboys’ starting lineup as
voters in Nevada. This act of fraud led to a raid of ACORN’s offices.
Not to be outdone, ACORN canvassers in Florida attempted to turn in forms that
registered Mickey Mouse as a voter and member of the Democratic Party, while ACORN
employees in Connecticut managed to place a seven-year old girl on the voting rolls.
Nation-wide investigations into ACORN’s role in voter fraud have yielded dozens of
indictments. Nevada recently charged ACORN with 26 counts of voter registration fraud
and 13 counts of illegally compensating canvassers. In Pennsylvania, seven Pittsburgharea
ACORN employees were charged with falsifying voter registration forms. Six of
them were accused of doing so to meet an illegal quota system.
“The land was ours before we were the land’s,” the poet Robert Frost recited at the
Inauguration of John F. Kennedy in 1961.
The land, fifty years later, will no longer be the land of which Mr. Frost spoke.
It will have been taken from us by a renegade president.

Why California is broke.

Not mine, but appropriate:

> Basic Economics - here is why California is broke! Let me explain... there are two families. Joe Legal and Jose Illegal - Both families have two parents, two children, and they live inCalifornia. > > Joe Legal works in construction, has a Social Security number, and makes $25.00 per hour with payroll taxes deducted - Jose Illegal also works construction, has NO Social Security number and gets paid $15.00 cash per hour "under the table." > > Joe Legal - $25.00 per hour x 40 hours = $1000.00 per week or $52,000 per year minus 30% away for state and federal taxes... Joe Legal now has $31,231.00 per year. > > Jose Illegal - $15.00 per hour x 40 hours = $600.00 per week or $31,200 per year. Jose Illegal pays NO taxes out of his illegal $31,200.00 per year salary. > > Joe Legal pays Medical and Dental Insurance with limited coverage $1000.00 per month (in California ) or $12,000 per year. Joe Legal now has $19,231.00. > > Jose Illegal has full Medical and Dental coverage through the State of California and Local 'City of Angels ' (L.A) Health Clinics at an annual cost of $0.00 per year. Jose Illegal still has his $31,200.00 yearly salary. > > Joe Legal makes too much money is therefore NOT eligible for Food Stamps or Welfare, so he pays for food at around $1,000.00 per month or $12,000 per year. Joe Legal now has $7,231.00. > > Jose Illegal has no documented income therefore, he is eligible for Food Stamps and various forms of Welfare. Jose Illegal still has his $31,200.00 (Cha-Ching!). > > Joe Legal pays also has a house payment of $1,000.00 per month or $12,000.00 per year and he is now in the hole to the tune of (-) $4,769.00. > > Since Jose Illegal... remember, has no documented income... he also receives a $500 per month Federal Rent Subsidy - this subsidy pays his rent at $500.00 per month or $6,000.00 per year - he still has $31,200.00 in his pocket. > > Joe Legal sees this happening and realizes he has to figure out some way to make ends meet or he is going to lose his house - so... he now works as much overtime as he can. He finds a part time job on the weekends and evenings. > > Jose Illegal has nights and weekends off to enjoy with his family. Joe Legal's and Jose Illegal's children both attend the same school. Joe Legal pays for his children's lunches while Jose Illegal's children get a government sponsored breakfast and lunch. > > Jose Illegal's children have an after school ESL program. Joe Legal's children go home after school. Joe Legal and Jose Illegal both enjoy the same Police and Fire Protection Services, but Joe Legal paid for them and Jose Illegal did not. > > Joe Legal must repay educational loans for his children to go to college - Jose Illegal does not. Therefore Joe Legal cannot afford to send his children to College - Jose Illegal can! > > California taxpayers (like Joe Legal) pay for all of Jose Illegal's stuff. That totals over $42,000 in this example. So Jose Illegal has his $31,200 plus at least $42,000 of value received each year or the equivalent of $73,200 after tax income. Joe Legal is struggling and Jose Illegal leads a pretty good life. > > And Voila - California is now broke, busted, and disgusted. And now, you and I will bail them out.

Right to healthcare.....NOT!!

There can be no rights to material things. If there were, you would have the right to take them from me, and, then, I would have the right to take them from you. Thus cancelling them out. Rights must not be mutually exclusive or they do not exist. If you think you have the right to force someone to provide good or a service to you for what YOU are willing to pay without regard to the needs and wants of the provider,you believe you have the right to steal. If you can steal, then so can I. That ain’t gonna work too well. Healthcare is not a system and it is not a program. It is an industry and depends on the flow of capital from the users to the providers in the form of payment and profit. If profit is eliminated, the product will be too. And, for those of you that think that the system is so good in the UK, understand this: Their country is completely bankrupt. People are routinely denied necessary medical procedures and medicine AND they had to restore the ability of the populace to BUY treatment with their own money. Why do you think that is? There ain’t nuthin free, folks. “If government is the answer, it is a stupid question.” By the way, I got an idea: Why don’t all of those who want socialized medicine form a club and pool your money to provide yourselves with whatever you can come up with and leave the rest of us out of it? Wouldn’t that be fair? You guys could have all fo the benefits of a socialized heathcare system and be able to deny us infidels the same!!

Letter to kriminals in kongress

I am completely beside myself with anger. You folks in congress are paying no attention to your constituents and are spending money like drunk sailors in a whorehouse. You have shown complete disregard for your oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America, AS IT IS WRITTEN, and a complete disregard for, or misunderstanding of ,basic economics.
First: Cash for clunkers: What moron thought that insanity up? First, you have no right to steal money from taxpayers to buy anyone a car for any reason. This is patently absurd.. Second, crushing perfectly good cars is insane. “Waste not, want not” is an adage that most of us have learned to live by. From an environmental standpoint, the melting down of, and making a new car of an old car uses much more energy that the car would use in its entire life. Second, the $4500 per car that you all are stealing from taxpayers and giving to someone to buy a car (UNCONSTITUTIONAL) would buy one hell of a lot of fuel for the old car. From an economical standpoint, it is pure insanity.
Second: Buying into GM and Chrysler: UNCONSTITUTIONAL. And, the companies are insolvent because of idiotic management, criminal unions empowered by a criminal federal government to make efficiency impossible and criminally insane government regulations. Nothing you did will help any of the problems, in fact, everything done will make problems much worse. Now the taxpayers will pay for the insanity ad infinitum. (By the way, YOU BUMS HAD NO CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY TO GET INVOLVED AT ALL).
Third: Bailouts: You have no authority to steal money and give it to anyone for any reason. I have a right to my property. That includes my money. In addition, this will serve to do nothing except to raise a debt that is already beyond payment. Keynes and Marx were wrong. This is simply a method for criminal congress critters to steal money from those who earn it and give it to criminal banksters to get richer off of. (And, I suspect, to get kickbacks as a result)
Healthcare: First, lets us look at the United States Constitution. You will find healthcare mentioned exactly ZERO times. That would lead a rational person to realize that it ain’t none of the federal government’s business. Next, you guys cannot lower costs. Costs are driven by inputs. All you can do is attempt to control price. If you set price controls, you will kill production of the goods and services that comprise our healthcare INDUSTRY (it is not a system, it is an industry). This will result in SHORTAGES. And, the new bureaucracy you guys are going to invent will cost more money than we are spending now and will produce NOTHING of value.
I belong to me. Therefore, I have the AUTHORIY AND RESPONSIBILITY to do with me as I will. It ain’t your business. My healthcare is my business.
If there is any desire to do something positive in that den of thieves, you folks could stop spending money today. Completely. You could start closing government operations all over the place. You could close the federal reserve and put us back on a gold standard. You could get us out of the UN, IMF and the World Bank.
Then, you could investigate the true birthplace of Barack Obama. You could investigate his educational records and his passport records. Now. And, if he is found to be an interloper, you could see that he is jailed for life along with every crooked scum ball that knew of his crimes and did nothing to stop them.
If you cannot address these priorities right now, I ask that you resign and leave this Country permanently .As I said in my opening statement I am madder than hell and am not prepared to put up with anymore communist crap from a criminal congress and president.
(Diminutives intended)
Sincerely,
Benjamin Napier
