Congress, Their Pay and Raises are Worth More Then Yours; Ask Them!



Nancy Pelosi said, “I don’t think we should do it; I think we should respect the work we do,” Pelosi told reporters in the Capitol. “I think it’s necessary for us to have the dignity of the job that we have rewarded.” It makes you wonder if congress has ever given back what they have greedily taken saying it is deserved.

In 1855 their salaries increased to $3,000 annually. Then in 1865 they gave themselves a 66% increase to $5,000 annually. Then 6 years later they boosted their salaries another 50% to $7,500 per year. The American People became so outraged by the greed that congressmen were showing, that congress was forced to take a 33% pay cut, which lasted 34 years. In the last 25 years Congress has seen 18 salary increases totaling 277% while the American Workers have only seen wage increases in 25 years totaling a mere 166%.

The two biggest pay increases were in the last 20 years were in 1990 (27.13% increase) and 1991 (26.33% increase) thanks to Speaker of the House Tom Foley and Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell; the military average for the same two years, 3.05% for each year; this is almost 900% higher pay raise then the men and women who die to defend our country. So according to Mrs. Pelosi and many of her colleague they require their pay to climb at a rate 40% faster then us the American citizens because of their dignity.

To save their “dignity” congress should take a 40% pay cut. Their pay raises should be connected to the military's and raised at the same rate which is almost identical to us, the American citizens. They would still be making $104,400 (not counting other benefits); which is still double the median US income of $51,100. This should be enough dignity for Mrs. Pelosi and her gaggle both Democrat and Republican; they should be in congress to serve the people and our country not become rich. This is what elitism looks like and what our founding fathers tried to eliminate from our government.

Why Our Government Bought 1.6 Billion Rounds of Ammunition?




Rumors are true about Homeland Security Department purchasing 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition; this is not in dispute but why? 1.6 billion rounds with the US population of 314 million gives us over 5 rounds of ammunition for every man, woman, and child in the United States. With 90 federal agencies and 70,000 agents (not counting the military) it comes to almost 18,000 rounds per agent. Within these agencies only about 22 percent of the people carry weapons (15,400 agents) so this brings the round count up to around 104, 000 rounds per agent but my question is once again is why?

Our federal government says it is for the training the 90 federal agencies, but when the agents train or carry (not all but most) they only use FMJ (full medal jacket) bullets because of human rights laws so why are they buying every hollow point they can get? It took 71 million rounds (none hollow points) per year for the Iraqi and Afghanistan Wars; with 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition you would be prepared to fight a 22.5 year war. Firearms Division (FAD) has approximately 49 buildings that including firing ranges, offices, ammunition, equipment, and storage. FAD offers 120 firearms courses and on the DHS FLETC home page a banner read 20 million rounds used annually but has since been removed. In September the DHS purchased 7,000+ fully automatic assault rifles as “Personal Defense Weapons.”


Even though the government says it is for training I say BS! Many think federal agency is preparing for civil unrest; is this because the government keeps taking from the working class and keeps giving to the lazy class; is this true I would say yes. A study by DHS characterizes Americans “suspicious of centralized federal authority,” and “reverent of individual liberty” as “extreme right-wing” terrorists; so if you don’t blindly follow the government you are a terrorist. Major Hassan from Ft Hood wasn’t a terrorist, he just committed work place violence but if you don’t believe the government you are a terrorist? Hmmm


Gangs in America has increased by 40 percent since 2009 in major cities and this is the reason they want to band guns but the 10 most violent cities in America all have strict gun laws but I guess they forgot to tell the criminals. According to Gallup, 41 percent of all Americans said that they owned a gun in 2010, but currently when the same question was asked it had risen to over 50 percent with the main reason being fear of criminals and the government. The real question here is why so many rounds and if you step back and step out of your paradigm the answer can only be one of two reasons.

  1. The socialistic people in our government have for years tried to take away our firearms but have failed. Volley after volley has been fired with more and more fabrications of the truth being told with the media in lock step but they always failed. If they can’t get the guns then if they buy all the ammunition then the guns become nothing but a paper weight and their goal is still achieved.
  1. There is an unrest coming, the government has taken our right away and violated the constitution and the people are getting fed up. With the crumbling of the U.S. economy and violent home invasions in many parts of the nation escalating, people want to protect their families when everything blows up. This has spawned two movements both of which the government doesn’t like because neither depends on the government; these are the militias and preparers. The militias and preparers are terrified of the government and its direction. The only way the government can get control of them is to attack them head forward to remove what the government perceives as a threat; they buy all the ammunition so no one can help them once the people wake up and sees what is happening. The next step after this will be the forcible removal of all our guns.
I might be wrong but I doubt it. Our government over the last 50 years has removed most everything that our founding fathers put into place to make this country great. It will destroy this beautiful nation unless people return to the values of our founding fathers and remove the cancer of political correctness. I once thought President Nixon was the closest to a dictator I had ever seen but now I know he has been overshadowed by our current administration. To fix it both democrats and republicans must do what is right for the country instead of their party.

School Unions Putting Our Children at Risk!



Do you realize how many dangerous criminals the teacher’s unions across the US keep employed and even defend just to make that extra dollar? It is frightening to see how much corruption is in our school system and politicians which are puppets of the teacher’s unions. Our children have been physically and sexually abused by teachers and the victims are victimized once again by the teachers unions defending the indefensible actions of these predators just to make that extra dollar. Look at where the abuse takes place and where the biggest teachers unions are and it’s amazing, they are in the same place. Below are a few examples:   

1.      A New York bus driver fired for failing a drug test will be reinstated? Cynthia DiDomenicantonio was putting our children in danger by being high and was fired for failing a drug test in November 2009 will be reinstated; how ignorant is our court system, here is a good example. The Shenendehowa Central School District had adopted a zero-tolerance policy for positive drug tests and she failed and was fired before she had hurt any kids but let’s give her a second chance to hurt the kids. The arbitrator, meanwhile, found the dismissal in violation of a collective bargaining agreement and ordered DiDomenicantonio reinstated. So let me get this right; In the Civil Service Employees Association (their union) collective bargaining agreement says you can do drugs and endanger our kids. Does the judge who reinstated her have kids or just getting something on the backside? Do we have anymore cases like this? Read more: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/02/13/new-york-court-backs-arbitrator-to-reinstate-bus-driver-fired-after-failed-drug/?test=latestnews#ixzz2KpVdvNZs
2.      In New York City again the public schools system reinstated 14 teachers thanks to United Federation of Teachers. Gym and health teacher Willie Laraque was charged with bending a male student over a desk, leaning in to him and saying, "I’ll show you what is gay. Norman Siegel was accused of pressing his genitalia against a female student’s leg. Siegel only received a 45-day unpaid suspension, "although the arbitrator found that the girl’s charge was likely true and that Siegel was previously accused of a similar offense. Edward Cascio, a gym teacher who accepted pornographic pictures from a student. The district tried to fire these individuals, but the UFT appealed the decisions to arbitrators, who gave the teachers their jobs back. Well let’s look to other states. http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/04/14/monsters-in-the-classroom

3.      Wisconsin- Linda Kiser was accused by various witnesses of pinching special needs students in the neck and shoulder area, pulling them by the arms and pushing them into chairs. Her union, the Kewaskum Education Association, decided to fight her termination. Kiser reportedly admitted to the arbitrator that she used physical force to control special needs students which left marks. http://eagnews.org/reinstatement-of-wisconsin-teacher-demonstrates-union-willingness-to-compromise-student-safety/

4.      California paid the union teacher at the center of the Miramonte child sexual abuse scandal $40,000 as part of a settlement in the wake of accusations of classroom behavior deemed “immoral” and “unprofessional” as well as a claim of “evident unfitness for service.” Under the agreement, Berndt, 61, is entitled to his full pension and retirement health benefits. http://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/LAUSD-Miramonte-Elementary-School-Mark-Berndt-139058999.html



There are many teachers who teach because they really love the kids but unfortunately the unions have added many predators to the teacher’s rolls. Many Teacher Unions claim all they want is the Pay that the teachers deserve for their devotion to properly educate and protect our kids (Does the above sound like properly educating and protecting our children). Their devotion isn’t to the kids as it should be but money and power. I think if you watch this video you might see the truth about teachers unions, especially in the bigger unions.

This is why we were really better off when teachers didn’t make as much because when they weren’t paid as well, you knew they were there because they loved the children and to teach. It was never about the money but in today’s schools with the union’s stance as shown in the video, it says it all “It’s not about the kids but power and money”.

Communist US Congressmen?




The first part of this is kind of funny. You have a congressman with all his aids and advisors spouting that there are 70 Communist Congressmen in the US Congress. What is funny is the Republican Congressman was wrong; there are 84 Communist Congressmen in our US Congress. This is because as usual the Republicans didn’t complete their ground work before writing an article but this is where the laughter ends and what does Communist want? If you read the complete charter and desires of the Communist Party USA you will find that they believe the government should be the center of your life and you own nothing except what the government will let you have. This scares me and should scare you as well.

This country is about freedom and freedom to choose. I know there are a lot of people out there who could afford Health Care but choose to Smoke, Drink, Cable, Cell Phones, and Expensive Cars over the responsible way of getting Health Care and that is what freedom is all about. If you step out on a limb and try to start your own business you are also taking a chance and if it pays off, you will be set for life; if not you have to start from scratch again. This shows how good freedom can be but freedom is a two edge sword; with freedom comes responsibility and if you play the lottery being irresponsible and fail, your suffering is from your own doing; if you win; more power to you.

Communism is easy to explain, nothing is yours, you must not think anything other then what you are allowed to, and you have no rights unless you are one of the few who have power; otherwise you are completely expendable and have no value. The state knows what is best so assimilate or be permanently removed from the earth’s population.

  1. Joseph Stalin killed 61 million.
  2. Mao Zedong killed 50 million.
  3. Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge killed over 31% of their population.

These are just a few quick examples of how Communists treat their citizens, they are accurate. Adolf Hitler wasn’t a Communist but he followed a lot of their beliefs such as disarm the people then you can do what you want because the people won’t be able to defend themselves. How does that assault weapons ban look from the view of the Nazi German citizen? With 84 communist in our congress; that’s 16% and growing how long before they receive a majority and remove voting? They have already band many items that free people was afforded by our founding fathers; can you believe they have band salt in some places. Next will be cigarettes (and any other tobacco product), sodas, they’ll restrict the car you can own, where you can live, and how much money you can make, and if your kids can go to collage. All the social programs the lazy enjoy currently will be gone because if you don’t work you receive no money and there isn’t unemployment. If you are unable to work (disabled, mentally challenged, and old) you will be permanently removed from the earth’s population because you are a drain on the collective with no value. You want three kids, no you can have one; what you had two; you pick which one will live. This isn’t hype; it is the way life survives in a Communism country; do you want to survive or live. If you see your congressman on the below list I would really think twice before I put them back into office; that is unless you don’t care about your freedom and just want to exist; then go ahead it’s your choice.

More Stimulus? Obama to Push 'Investments' in State of the Union. Are You Kidding Me!


Where did the $800 billion stimulus meant for jobs and fixing our infrastructure end up? If you look below of the where what ended up being $787 billion and later revised to $831 billion, if you count all the education the total amount spent on jobs and fixing our infrastructure was only $100 billion dollars which means $731 was blown thank you my elected officials. The bulk of it went to economic justice and alternative energy companies which donated to the Democratic Party then went bankrupt. Tell me that wasn’t a payoff. This is why we need to get rid of all the politicians in the US Congress (especially the lawyers) and put people in office that cares about our country. All the current US Congress and president want to do is spend more and making our country unsafe. I will cover the spending part first.

But its not all democrats, republicans have done their share too to get us into this situation. It is true the Democrats spent 28% more then the republicans but I’m really tired of either or both sides talking about having a balance budget because over the last 24 years no one has. So all you Newt Gingrich fans, the budget wasn’t balanced when he was leader of the house according to the Treasury Department. You know what that means Democrats, President Clinton didn’t balance the budget either; he didn’t do a real bad job as some others have but still, he didn’t balance the budget. The worse offender is President Obama with $1,510,379,127,618.35 spent on average each year and President G. W. Bush in second place spending $543,818,335,878.19 per year; the best was President Clinton at $201,194,694,295.65 a year but don’t forget, it was still a deficit and not a balance budget. Read below for all the numbers.

We as a Nation over the last 50 years have gutted our Military and the contribution they made to our society. We have stopped training and giving a good work ethic to our citizens (which is what happened in the military) and just started giving them handouts to a devastation effect. We have cut our defense spending by 56.3% which trained our citizens and started giving away 37.2% of our budget to people who don’t want to work! If you owned a company would you accept this? No and neither should we as a country. While China and Russia once again build up their arsenals we dismantle ours; this is dangerous and puts our troops, country, and citizens in danger.

If we keep this up there will be a revolt in this country because the workers will get tired of paying the way of the lazy then all hell will break loose. I think our leadership knows this because they have bought most every round of ammo on the market that they could leaving the citizens with little left. I hope it doesn’t come to this but as of current the outlook isn’t promising. We need to spend more on Defense and force these slackers to get a job even if it means in the military. They can learn a trade and become an asset to our society instead of a deficit. If we cut defense spending any more, we may not have to worry about it because someone will take us over. France and Spain thought it was impossible, but it happened during WWII. Now we have North Korea detonating a nuclear bomb; do you feel safer? I don’t!
