I would like to tell everyone on Facebook if you registered as an Independent you will not be able to vote for any Republican or any Democrat nominee. So that goes to show that most people cannot vote and have their voices heard. It should be my legal right to be able to vote even though I'm registered as an Independent. So that goes to show you that our government will not allow you to change your mind. That is another way that they can just control us as Americans. They want illegal to be able to vote without any identification whatsoever, but Americans not to vote. As an American all-american voices should be heard. GOD BLESS AMERICA! -

'Feeling the Bern’ of Socialism In the 239 year-old wake of a revolutionary declaration to ensure the rights of mankind over the historical dangers of excessive and immoral government, the global beacon of hope and opportunity that once defined America – that indelible spirit of independence and innovation that has transcended the world on numerous occasions – is fading, or more succinctly dying, from the self-inflicted wound known as socialism. Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are zealously pursuing our fiscal demise by suffocating private enterprise, the heartbeat of our revered way of life, with endless regulation, taxation and rogue redistribution. And for what; because all banks and corporations – those “soulless” creations that never donated to medical research, endowed education, financed family homes and small businesses, pioneered watershed technologies or created one decent paying job – are irrefutably evil? Apparently so. Feeding societal discontent, while starving responsibility and perspective, turns grown adults into helpless children needlessly suffering in the coldhearted soup lines of capitalism. Thank God perpetual “victims” still have the strength to vote Democrat every four years. After all, codependency hates competition. Because activists love to defy or mock conventional avenues, but love the vague cliches of literature, I suggest the art of taking the road less traveled in a Constitutional republic predicated upon choice. If you don’t like the prevailing interest rates of national financial institutions, don’t take out a loan, open an account or agree to their banking fees. Ever hear of credit unions? If you despise a corporation’s practices, file a lawsuit, work elsewhere or refuse to buy their products and stock. Or God forbid, start your own enterprise with like-minded consumers. Competition, economic Darwinism and the law of demand, will eventually weed out the parasites in both industries. Regardless, how does either complaint validate Washington’s crusade to punish hard-working Americans and business owners, siphon their wealth and property, by attempting to legislate economic equality in the name of social justice? It doesn’t. If we're marinating "fate" in the melancholy of “fairness”, minimum wage was never intended as a living wage. Rather, it represents the baseline compensation for unskilled labor performing menial jobs; such as students seeking extra pocket change. Just don’t tell me fast food workers deserve $15 an hour and free health care, only to claim the privilege and benefits of higher education, learning a trade, doesn’t outweigh the cost or personal sacrifice required to forge a bridge to a better life. True financial stability requires establishing a means to a means, not by relying on and depleting an exhaustible end: i.e., public assistance or handouts. The best social program is, and always has been, a job; one that utilizes your unique and acquired attributes. There is no shame in needing help time to time, we all do, but welfare is not a career opportunity and charity is never an executive order. Although Americans are a compassionate and extremely generous people, all able-bodied citizens owe it to themselves and their families to find work. A monthly government check doesn’t liberate the poor, it merely ensures their depravity for generations to come. This is why socialism is nothing more than the equal division of misery and the legalized theft of success. Why is it a travesty when an immigrant or discouraged minority is struggling, but karma when an entrepreneur, one who could have hired these individuals and improved their quality of life, goes broke and loses everything? In other words, welcome to the dawn of envy and entitlements, or the dusk of hard work and accountability. Here in the land of the fleeced, the home of the bankrupt, you personally owe your neighbor a free ride, lunch money and an apology for daring to achieve; where big government is God, liberty is flawed, and capitalism – acquired wealth and job creation – is pure greed…unless, that is, you’re a multimillionaire liberal politician, athlete or entertainer who believes in global warming. Whereas confused collectivists love to point out how roads, schools, and emergency services are sterling examples of socialism’s success – the “you didn’t build that” Marxist guide to self-loathing – these necessities are basic stalwarts of any functioning, civilized society. So yes, according to leftist logic and your tax dollars, you built that bridge too. Yet, by some miracle of competence, free enterprise & public works coexisted and thrived in this country long before 60’s radicals – today’s Democratic leadership – waged class warfare, excessively taxed prosperity and redistributed wealth, in order to incite voter discontent, justify dependence and erect their socialist utopia. In fact, up until 1913 Americans kept 100% of their earnings. And despite adhering to this “unfathomable” economic principle, i.e., keeping your hard-earned money, our hallowed way of life somehow benefited from a vast network of educational institutions, extensive roadways and railways, hospitals, police and fire departments, as well as a fully functioning military in the form of the Army, Navy and Marine Corps: those fabled military branches that still managed to win eight wars without the duplicitous dealings of Big Brother. As for the official “police” report of statism, public education is actually based on a capitalistic theory of individuality and self-worth. By teaching a child the necessary skills to become a productive and well-adjusted member of society, research indicates they’re much less likely to struggle, break the law or become dependent, an undue fiscal burden, upon the state. The universal goal of a market driven economy is sustainability, or more succinctly, self-sufficiency: to empower commerce with diversified labor so everyday people can buy their own home, provide for their family and afford “quality” health care independent of government control. The more disposable income each family possesses, the more likely they are to purchase the products and services of those businesses that pay our salaries and hire new employees. A means to a means, my comrade. In America, unlike so many other countries, there are countless paths to success – regardless of one’s personal struggles, attributes or disposition. Don’t breed spite and contempt for others because you have less; be angry you forgot “the pursuit of happiness” is ultimately incumbent upon your own choices and resolve. Yes, life is not fair, bad things happen to good people, but how much of that is due to our own accord? How does hating or taking from the more fortunate, many who earned the fruits of their labor, justify or change anything? A menial or “average” life in America is still much better than the everyday lives defining most other nations. Why else would entire families abandon their native countries, risking their very lives in the process, to come to the supposed capitalist lair of “greed”? Better yet, why are American politicians endeavoring to become more like those bankrupt and corrupt leftist regimes these immigrants are fleeing? The blessing of liberty does not dictate equal outcomes because free will is far more valuable than rationed rights or ransomed dependence. It infers that no one owes you but yourself because your potential is inherently limitless. Unfortunately that’s far too inconvenient of a concept for those socialists attempting to demonize dissenting speech and bribe the electorate with other people’s money solely to win an election. Since when did hope require an enemy or success a notary of guilt? The question pundits should be asking isn’t whether or not capitalism – that which is most synonymous with freedom and upward mobility – is flawed, for all ideologies innately are; rather, where would a country sporting the size and populace of America be today without its unparalleled penchant for growth, independence and prosperity? How else did a newfound republic become the most affluent, revered and powerful nation in the world, without sacrificing individual rights or the people’s quality of life, in less than two centuries? One only needs to look at Greece, Communist Cuba, most of the Middle East or any third world nation to witness the devastating effects caused by a lack of commerce, capital and/or infrastructure. Considering welfare recipients have jumped from 27 to 47 million since 2008, nearly 100 million are absent from the U.S. workforce, our national debt has almost doubled to a record 20 trillion in only seven years despite collecting record tax revenue, all while household income and home ownership continue to plummet, I missed the part where more entitlements and fewer of those evil, profitable businesses would help the American people. Yes, who in their right mind wouldn’t elect a career contrarian who praised the murderous legacy of totalitarianism, religiously demonized his native country, and didn’t earn a steady paycheck until he was 40 years of age? Perhaps ‘We the People’ are just beginning to ‘Feel the Bern’ of socialism, or better yet, the crass exploitation of victimization politics. When limited government becomes a radical idea, personal responsibility is racist and individual liberty stands as an obstacle to “hope” and “change”, perhaps it no longer matters in the electoral quest to bribe the spoon-fed masses. In other words, apathy has become our greatest export and the most likely candidate to sign America’s death certificate. The cleanest hands are often the dirtiest. “If socialists understood economics…they wouldn’t be socialists.” ~F.A. Hayek -

***Don't Be A "NO-INFORMATION" Voter*** I'm proud and pleased to announce that my first non-fiction book, Some People Are Like The Old Prospector's Mule...You Have To Hit 'Em Between The Eyes With A Two-By-Four To Get Their Attention!, has completed printing and is being promoted by Page Publishing through assorted book stores and websites such as Barnes & Noble and Amazon.com. I will be eternally grateful to my Facebook relatives and friends for their efforts to advance the book through purchases and recommendations. Hard copies are also available directly from my residence. The intent of this book is not as much self-promotional as it is informational, to convince as many folks as possible to NOT be "no-information" voters! "Conservative-minded folks will enjoy and appreciate The Old Prospector's Mule, self-described political moderates will avail themselves of some valuable information, and leftists will learn why their ideology doesn't work!" Liberalism is an ideology. Conservatism is a way of life. The first one believes that government is owner and distributor of freedom and rights, while the other maintains that government exists to protect the rights and freedoms Man is born with. One of my father’s best known witticisms was, “Some people are like the old prospector’s mule…you have to hit ‘em between the eyes with a two-by-four to get their attention.” He was not wrong. The past two decades have exposed far too many “low-information” voters who elected incompetent leftist politicians. All across our nation a quiet rage is building against the liberal assault upon American values. More so than ever in the history of America, the concerns and patience of its people are being tested, tried and attacked by a group of elitists that is Hell-bent on the destruction of this country. Voters can make a difference by adequately researching political candidates before casting their ballots. I want you to be resilient enough to protect your rights and resist tyranny. America is calling, and we citizens must band together and fight or we lose our country to illegals, terrorists and Liberals. Refuse to remain silent! Question boldly, hold to the truth and speak without fear! The only rights you have in this world are the ones you are willing to fight for. But you are not alone. -

So disappointed by your post just really missing the point in the beyonce halftime show... (but at least it has people talking) It's OK to be black and proud; it's OK to stand in solidarity if your people were enslaved, went through decades of Jim Crow, segregation, were lynched for misdemeanors, have experienced unequal education and oppression, are profiled, inexcusably disproportionately criminalized and incarcerated today, are less likely to get jobs than white criminals, have an 80% higher chance of being shot in major cities than white persons, and still face institutional and individual racism, oppression and unequal opportunity (for jobs, education and basic safety) because you live in a country that has aloud the construction of the preeminence of the white body and sometimes your only strength is in banding together in solidarity ESPECIALLY if your status as a black celebrity (or successful person in any field) is dismissed as a unique success that persevered through these societal barriers opposed to an expected position to be held by someone of your race. ....yes; it's OK. -

Somthing to ponder, Please Share, Mainstream Media won't tell you But Dick Morris will; Subject: Fwd:: Bill Clinton's Loving Wife By Dick Morris. Dick Morris, former political advisor to President Bill Clinton. If you happen to see the Bill Clinton five minute TV ad for Hillary in which he introduces the commercial by saying he wants to share some things we may not know about Hillary's background, beware as I was there for most of their presidency and know them better than just about anyone. I offer a few corrections: Bill says : "In law school Hillary worked on legal services for the poor." Facts are : Hillary's main extra-curricular activity in 'Law School' was helping the Black Panthers, on trial in Connecticut for torturing and killing a 'Federal Agent'. She went to Court every day as part of a Law student monitoring committee trying to spot civil rights violations and develop grounds for appeal. Bill says : "Hillary spent a year after graduation working on a Children's rights project for poor kids." Facts are : Hillary interned with Bob Truehaft, the head of the California Communist Party. She met Bob when he represented the Panthers and traveled all the way to San Francisco to take an internship with him. Bill says : "Hillary could have written her own job ticket, but she turned down all the lucrative job offers." Facts are : She flunked the D.C. bar exam, 'Yes', flunked it, it is a matter of record, and only passed the Arkansas bar. She had no job offers in Arkansas, 'None', and only got hired by the University of Arkansas Law School at Fayetteville because Bill was already teaching there. She did not join the prestigious Rose Law Firm until Bill became Arkansas Attorney General and was made a partner only after he was elected Arkansas Governor. Bill says : "President Carter appointed Hillary to the Legal Services Board of Directors and she became its Chairman." Facts are : The appointment was in exchange for Bill's support for Carter in his 1980 primary against Ted Kennedy. Hillary then became chairman in a coup in which she won a majority away from Carter's choice to be chairman Bill says: "She served on the board of the Arkansas Children's Hospital." Facts are: Yes she did. But her main board activity, not mentioned by Bill, was to sit on the Wal-Mart Board of Directors, for a substantial fee. She was silent about their labor and health care practices Bill says : "Hillary didn't succeed at getting health care for all Americans in 1994 but she kept working at it and helped to create the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) that provides five million children with health insurance." Facts are : Hillary had nothing to do with creating CHIP. It was included in the budget deal between Clinton and Republican Majority Leader Senator Trent Lott. I know; I helped to negotiate the deal. The money came half from the budget deal and half from the Attorney Generals' tobacco settlement. Hillary had nothing to do with either source of funds. Bill says: "Hillary was the face of America all over the World." (LOL) Facts are: Her visits were part of a program to get her out of town so that Bill would not appear weak by feeding stories that Hillary was running the White House. Her visits abroad were entirely touristic and symbolic and there was no substantive diplomacy on any of them.ill says : "Hillary was an excellent Senator who kept fighting for Children's and Women's issues." Facts are : Other than totally meaningless legislation like changing the names on courthouses and post offices, she has passed only four substantive pieces of legislation. One set up a national park in Puerto Rico. A second provided respite care for family members helping their relatives through Alzheimer's or other conditions. And two were routine bills to aid 911 victims and responders which were sponsored by the entire N.Y. delegation. Presently she is trying to have the US memorialize Woodstock. Here is what bothers me more than anything else about Hillary Clinton. She has done everything possible to weaken the President and our Country (that's you and me) when it comes to the 'War on Terror'1. She wants to close GITMO and move the combatants to the USA where they would have access to our legal system. 2. She wants to eliminate the monitoring of suspected Al Qaeda phone calls to/from the USA. 3. She wants to grant constitutional rights to enemy combatants captured on the battlefield. 4. She wants to eliminate the monitoring of money transfers between suspected Al Qaeda cells and supporters in the USA. 5. She wants to eliminate the type of interrogation tactics used by the Military & CIA where coercion might be used when questioning known terrorists even though such tactics might save American lives.One cannot think of a single 'Bill', Hillary has introduced or a single comment she has made that would tend to strengthen our Country in the 'War on Terror'. But, one can think of a lot of comments she has made that weaken our Country and makes it a more dangerous situation for all of us.Bottom line: She goes hand in hand with the ACLU on far too many issues where common sense is abandoned.Share this with everyone you know, ask them to prove Dick Morris wrong.Think about it - he's (Dick Morris) said all of this openly, thus if he were not truthful he'd be liable for 'Defamation of Character' !And you better believe Hillary would sue him. Her winning in 2016 means the final death knell for America! Her whole public life has been a LIE. By Dick Morris, former political advisor to President Bill Clinton -
