Some weeks ago, Italy, one of the few allies to actually put boots on the ground alongside US troops in Iraq, was hit by a destructive earthquake.
The US, which has a century long history and reputation for helping both friend and foe in time of natural disaster; offered manpower and equipment to help alleviate the suffering. The Italian government very diplomatically said that personnel, while appreciated, were not needed. An influx of personnel who were not totally self-sufficient could problematical.
In previous cases where monetary needs were greater than others, the US has given multiple millions for the rebuilding of infrastructure and to build temporary housing and feed the homeless.
In this case, however, the President, who was at the G 20 meetings stated that the US would make a cash donation of $50,000. Undoubtedly, he was trying to convince his fellow G 20 heads of his intent to get control of the US economy.
On the other hand pop entertainer and actress Madonna gave a personal donation of a half-million to the small town in which her grandparents met.
I wonder how the US donation might have been adjusted had the earthquake stuck in a country with a recent history of animosity toward the US and a third world position coupled with a more diverse religious makeup. It probably would help for the recepient nation to have no history of African colonialism.

Ask the Question the Media Won't Ask
Ask the questions the media won't ask.
We have wound up in one helluva mess because of the demise of ethical journalism in 2008. Journalists became cheerleaders and remain so today. They are so invested in the current national administration that they cannot even attempt to revive true reportage.
It now falls to us to do our own homework between now and the 2010 elections to find suitable Congressmen and Senators to return the balance of power in the U.S. government. Only the election of conservative legislators can blunt the sword of socialism wielded by Barack Obama and his henchmen.
Below are a few questions to be posed to any and all candidates in the 2010 races, be they incumbents or newcomers. Just ask, "Mr./Ms _______, would you work to see that these things happen within the first year of legislation after your election/re-election? Vote according to what you hear, and be prepared to continually remind the legislator of his/her answer. Ask them all; conservative, liberal or whatnot. Be sure your heretofore conservative is not wavering and neo-conning.
1. Cut off all foreign aid except for one-time grants in case of natural disaster.
2. Inform Israel that the Uncle Sucker umbrella is gone and that Israel's continued viability is directly contingent on its own diplomatic and military abilities. The Middle East problem will soon resolve.
3. Inform the global community that the U.S. has fought its last conventional war and that forcing us into any military action will be fatal beyond all doubt. They will not have time to be either shocked or awed.
4. Drill here. Drill now. Offer tax incentives for the entrepreneurial production of domestic oil and gas and alternative/renewable energy sources. Not one dime for private research. Reward production, not speculation. Low crude prices must not reduce the search for energy independence.If we do not control the supply, prices can and will go up.
5. Roll back all "Green" B.S. forced on us as payment to the radical environmentalists.
6. Announce that anthropogenic climate change (not global warming) is a lie perpetuated to create a new source of income for the redistribution of wealth throughout the world, and proceed under that premise.
7. Repudiate any and all "eco" treaties we have been talked into to our detriment and make it clear that our first and only mission is the sustenance of the United States of America. We will pollute as necessary to sustain our way of life and standard of living. We stand ready to enforce, not defend that position and we are far more capable of doing so than any other nation on earth. See #3.
8. Return the U.S. to the status of a producer of products other than an anemic currency.
9. Place tariff sanctions on products not produced within the borders of the U.S. or its territories, regardless of the domicile of the manufacturer. Bring jobs back to the United States.
10. Seal the borders with the troops returned from our final conventional conflict then round up and deport all illegal aliens regardless of country of origin. Revise immigration rules to make it almost impossible for an uneducated, unskilled, unsponsored person to gain entrance. NO MORE student visas. "Ask not what our country can do for you. Tell us what you can do for our country."
11. Announce that the U.S. is out of the nation building business, and that those citizens or inhabitants of countries which they feel or know to be repressive have our wholehearted blessing in any effort to improve the situation just as long as it is not detrimental the the United States.
12. Invite the United Nations to find another host country and primary financial contributor; then insist.
13. Finally, ask the candidate if they feel that the 2nd amendment to the Constitution is sacrosanct and an excellent tool for the defense of the other amendments.
We are going to have to do our own digging, because truth in reporting is already dead and buried.

THE DAY AFTER
Yesterday those who have borne a horrific burden of guilt for their part real or imagined in the denial of life liberty and the pursuit of happiness to black people cast off their load and placed their faith in the new Messiah. They afforded him the greatest accolade and honor available to an American, that of President of the USA. Certainly, they reasoned that this move should wipe away their racial sins and those of their benighted ancestors. They congratulated themselves on their willingness to come together with their downtrodden compatriots. It was an "Oh! what a good boy am I" moment. It was rumored that ghostly strains of Kumbya could be heard throughout the land.
Do you think that the race industry will wither and die as a result of this watershed moment? Will Reverend Wright open his pulpit to white evangelicals? Will the old guard like Calypso Louis, Jesse, Al and the rest who have shut up until after election day remain silent? Will the NAACP, the SNCC and the other alphabet groups welcome the newly minted acolytes with open arms? The only thing accomplished on November 4, 2008 was election of a Negro President. That is all.

Foreign Money 28 Days Left
It is reported that B. Hussein Obama has raised close to a half BILLION dollars in campaign contributions and that about half of that came from foreign donors. That is ILLEGAL. There is no use in parsing, chewing, hemming, hawing. It is against Federal law for anyone other than an American citizen living outside the country to contribute to an American campaign. Guess what ? It is just as illegal to accept the money. He hasn't been elected and he is already doing just as he darn well pleases. What if he is elected? Hang on - it's gonna be some kind of wild ride.
He has always done as he pleased. I wonder if he was ever told "No" and that it stuck. He has gotten away with everything because he always had the big Race Ace up his sleeve. Those not willing to go along with his criminality were just racist. Anyone seeing through his actions could only do so because they were peering from behind a Klansman's hood. Bull !!
Do not elect this criminal President and let him get out of reach. He should be in the Big House, not the White House

SKEWED NEWS A pass along
I am honoring the request of the author of this piece to pass it along. See what you think.
Subject: Talk About Skewed News!!! Further proof that the American media cannot betrusted. Share this story with as many people as you can. We've GOT to do everything possible to ensure that our next President is chosen by the PEOPLE; not the media! Just in case you happened to see the ABC News (if you watched ABC News) with interviews of 5 military folks in Iraq - 3 planned to vote for Obama and 2 for Hillary; no mention of any McCain supporters. Well, here's the 'Rest of the Story.' This is fromMajor General (ret) Buckman. My niece, Katelyn, stationed at Baluud , Iraq , was assigned with others of her unit, to be escorted/guarded/ watched out for Martha Raddatz of ABC News as she covered John McCain's recent trip toIraq . Katelyn and her Captain stood directly behind Raddatz as she queried GI's walking past. They kept count of the GI's and you should remember these numbers. She asked 60 GI's who they planned to vote for, in November, '08. 54 soldier's said John McCain, 3 for Obama and 2 forHillary. Katelyn called home and told her Mom and Dad to watch ABC news the next night because she was standing directly behind Raddatz and maybe they'd see her on TV. Mom and Dad of course, called and emailed all the kinfolk to watch the newscast and maybe see Katelyn. Well, of course, we all watched and what we saw wasn't a glimpse of Katelyn, but got a hell'ava view of skewed news. After a dissertation on McCain's trip and speech,ABC showed 5 GI's being asked by Raddatz how they were going to vote in November; 3 for Obama and 2 for Clinton. No mention of the 54 for McCain .

CRIME IN OHIO 31 DAYS LEFT
Go to this link to see what is going on in a key battleground state. These actions by ACORN are CRIMINAL (actually, not just a figure of speech), but don't expect anything to be done. The Obama crew gave them $800K to get 'er done. There is a short commercial to begin with, but bear with it and see this travesty. I repeat, this is criminal. If it were not so serious, it would be mildly funny the way the community organizer backs off when she sees she has been caught. These are the people who want to run our lives. And it is obvious that they will do anything to get in that position. Also, don't think Ohio is the only crime scene. Remember, B. Hussein Obama used to be their attorney.

Wouldn't You Just Know It ?? 48 Days Left
let me share some info with you that i have gotten from excellent sources within the DNC: On or about October 5th, Biden will excuse himself from the ticket, citing health problems, and he will be replaced by Hillary. This is timed to occur after the VP debate on 10/2.there have been talks all weekend about how to proceed with this info. generally, the feeling is that we should all go ahead and get it out there to as many blog sites and personal email lists as is possible. i have already seen a few short blurbs about this - the "health problem" cited in those articles was aneurysm. probably many of you have heard the same rumblings.however, at this point, with this inside info from the DNC, it looks like this obama strategy will be a go. therefore, it seems that the best strategy is to get out in front of this obama maneuver, spell it out in detail, and thereby expose it for the grand manipulation that it is. so, let's start mixing this one up and cut the obamites off at the pass - send this info out to as many people as you can - post about it on websites and blogs - etc etc. lastly, i have put an excerpt from Rudy's speech at the RNC below - it seems to address the very issue!!yours in the fight,excerpt from R.Giuliani's speech at the 2008 RNC:Well, I'll tell you, if I were Joe Biden, I'd want to get that V.P. thing in writing."
The above came as an E-mail today. Below is my take.
This is not surprising. And it scares me just as much as Palin scared the Libs. If nothing else, this should prove to anyone who has never tasted Kool-Aid that ALL the Libs want is IN !! They do not have any sort of beneficent plan. Their only plan is to STEAL the election, PUNISH Conservatives, REWARD their sycophants, ENLARGE Government, ENTRENCH themselves by relieving our pain just enough to keep us off the rooftops. Yep, they will go on a SPREE the likes of which we have never seen. We must STOP the SPREE. As I have said before, if he allows this to happen; Obama does not have sense enough to be President. The Soros, Ayers, Daley types who discovered and groomed him to get THEM in power won't care a bit that he may die in office. They will be IN. And that is all that counts for them. Barry's usefulness ends on November 5, win lose or draw. He doesn't seem to recognize that the DNC would put yet another baby orangutan on the ticket if it bettered their chances of winning. Just remember, all they want is to be in power. We cannot afford for this to happen. They DO NOT have our best interests at heart.STOP THE SPREE !!
S teal the election by swapping Hillary for Biden or any means necessary
P unish Conservatives with onerous taxation and regulation
R eward our sycophants with jobs and perks and favorable treatment
E nlarge government by getting into everyones' lives
E ntrench with increased handouts
STOP the SPREE !!
