Quote of the Day

Wednesday, May 9th, 2012

“Apparently, I’m supposed to be more angry about what Mitt Romney does with his money than what Barack Obama does with mine.”

Upside-Down Land

Thursday, May 3rd, 2012

You know you live in an Upside-down Land if…

1. A Muslim officer crying “Allah Akbar” while shooting up an army base is considered to have committed “Workplace Violence” while an American citizen boasting a Ron Paul bumper sticker is classified as a “Domestic Terrorist”.

2. You can get arrested for expired tags on your car but not for being in the country illegally.

3. Your government believes that the best way to eradicate trillions of dollars of debt is to spend trillions more of our money.

4. A seven year old boy can be thrown out of school for calling his teacher “cute” but hosting a sexual exploration or diversity class in grade school is perfectly acceptable.

5. The Supreme Court of the United States can rule that lower courts cannot display the 10 Commandments in their courtroom, while sitting in front of a display of the 10 Commandments.

6. Children are forcibly removed from parents who appropriately discipline them while (more…)

Taxation Is Voluntary

Thursday, March 29th, 2012

I am sure that most of you believe, along with me, that taxation is force. As is often said, “Nothing is as sure as death and taxes.” View this video and see now Senator Harry Reid, Majority Leader of the Senate, defends and explains taxation.

SOCIAL SECURITY NOW CALLED ‘FEDERAL BENEFIT PAYMENT’

Thursday, February 23rd, 2012

Have you noticed, your Social Security check is now referred to as a “federal benefit payment”? Our government gets away with way too much in all areas of our lives, while they live lavishly on their grossly overpaid incomes!

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT THE ONLY THING WRONG WITH THIS CALCULATION IS THEY FORGOT TO FIGURE IN THE PEOPLE WHO DIED BEFORE THEY COLLECTED THEIR SOCIAL SECURITY!!!! WHERE DID THAT MONEY GO?

This was sent to me, I am posting it because it does touch a nerve in me. This is another example of what Rick Perry called “TREASON in high places”!

Remember, not only did you contribute to Social Security but your employer did too. It totaled 15% of your income before taxes. If you averaged only $30K over your working life, that’s close to $220,500.

If you calculate the future value of $4,500 per year (yours & your employer’s contribution) at a simple 5% (less than what the government pays on the money that it borrows), after 49 years of working (more…)

Government & Society

Thursday, February 16th, 2012

By Matt Patterson (columnist – Washington Post, New York Post, San Francisco Examiner)

Washington Post on Obama. It is amazing that the Washington Post would actually print this about Obama.

Note: This is a rather unusual piece to find in the Washington Post. No intent here to be ‘political’ but the president’s climb to the White House certainly smacks of being highly engineered. In addition to those fearful of being called racists and those who have always been for the racial underdog, such are the comments from our air-head folks, that Obama was ‘cool’ as their reason for voting for him. Mike

Years from now, historians may regard the 2008 election of Barack Obama as an inscrutable and disturbing phenomenon, the result of a baffling breed of mass hysteria akin perhaps to the witch craze of the Middle Ages. How, they will wonder, did a man so devoid of professional accomplishment beguile so many into thinking he could manage the world’s largest economy, direct the world’s most powerful military, execute the world’s most consequential job?

Imagine a future historian examining Obama’s pre-presidential life: ushered into and through the Ivy League despite unremarkable grades and (more…)

Parental Advice to OWS Protestors

Tuesday, November 15th, 2011

MY SENTIMENTS EXACTLY

Some belated parental advice to protesters.

Marybeth Hicks
Columnist

Oct 18, 2011

Call it an occupational hazard, but I can’t look at the Occupy Wall Street protesters without thinking, “Who parented these people?”

As a culture columnist, I’ve commented on the social and political ramifications of the “movement” — now known as “OWS” — whose fairyland agenda can be summarized by one of their placards: “Everything for everybody.”

Thanks to their pipe-dream platform, it’s clear there are people with serious designs on “transformational” change in America who are using the protesters like bedsprings in a brothel.

Yet it’s not my role as a commentator that prompts my parenting question, but rather the fact that I’m the mother of four teens and young adults. There are some crucial life lessons that the protesters’ moms clearly have not passed along.

Here, then, are five things the OWS protesters’ mothers should have taught their children but obviously didn’t, so I will: (more…)

Honoring Those Who Served

Tuesday, October 18th, 2011

By William J. Dell
Amore Dei, Familiae, Patriae ducit !

Like all other Viet Nam Era and World War II Veterans, I was promised when I signed on the dotted line both what was written into the contract and what was promised in the oft-stated “oral contract” by recruiters and superiors during my service. Foremost in this was the many verbal assurances that we, as Veterans, and our spouses would have free medical for life. A benefit which has already been cut by Medicare B payments and co-pays for services and prescription drugs received when we become 65 and must join TRICARE for Life.

I found in my email inbox today from Military.com (you can sign up at http://feeds.feedburner.com/militaryadvantage for the emails) a very disturbing article that Senator John McCain (R-AZ) has sent a letter to the Budget Super-Committee stating that he is OK with placing “cuts” in our military benefits on the table.

What is he thinking? Has he forgotten the trials and tribulations of those who wore and are wearing the uniform in defense of our Constitutional Republic? Has he forgotten his own service and the years in the Hanoi Hilton? Has he forgotten the promises (more…)

The Tax System Explained in Beer

Tuesday, October 18th, 2011

David R. Kamerschen, Ph.D.
Professor of Economics.

Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this…

The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.

The fifth would pay $1.
The sixth would pay $3.
The seventh would pay $7.
The eighth would pay $12.
The ninth would pay $18.
The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.

So, that’s what they decided to do.

The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve ball. “Since you are all such good customers,” he said, “I’m going to reduce the cost of your daily beer by $20″. Drinks for the ten men would now cost just $80.

The group still wanted to pay their bill (more…)

Herman Cain

Wednesday, October 5th, 2011

Freedom-Fighters Forum is not publishing this as an endorsement but as interesting information promoting a guy who is undeniably impressive but about whom little is generally known despite his record of accomplishments.

Herman Cain is running for president. He’s not a career politician (in fact he has never held political office). He’s known as a pizza guy, but there’s a lot more to him. He’s also a computer guy, a banker guy, and a rocket scientist guy.

Here’s his bio:

Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics from Morehouse College in 1967.

Master’s degree in Computer Science from Purdue University.

Mathematician for the Navy, where he worked on missile ballistics (making him a rocket scientist).

Computer systems analyst for Coca-Cola.

VP of Corporate Data Systems and Services for Pillsbury (this is the top of the ladder in the computer world, being in charge of information systems for a major corporation).

All achieved before reaching the age of 35. Since he reached the top of the information systems world, he changed careers!

 

Business Manager. Took charge of Pillsbury’s 400 Burger King restaurants (more…)

Free “Stuff”

Monday, September 26th, 2011

The folks who are getting the free stuff, don’t like the folks who are paying for the free stuff, because the folks who are paying for the free stuff, can no longer afford to pay for both the free stuff and their own stuff, and, the folks who are paying for the free stuff, want the free stuff to stop and the folks who are getting the free stuff want even more free stuff on top of the free stuff they are already getting!

Now… The people who are forcing the people who Pay for the free stuff, have told the people who are RECEIVING the free stuff, that the people who are PAYING for the free stuff are being mean, prejudiced, and racist.

So… the people who are GETTING the free stuff, have been convinced they need to hate the people who are paying for the free stuff, by the people who are forcing some people to pay for their free stuff, and giving them the free stuff in the first place. We have let the free stuff giving go on for so long that there are now more people getting free stuff than paying for the free stuff.

Now understand this. All great democracies have committed financial suicide somewhere between 200 and 250 years after being founded. The reason?

The voters figured out they could vote themselves money from the treasury by electing people who promised to give them money from the treasury in exchange for electing them. The United States officially became a Republic in 1776, 231 years ago. The number of people now getting free shit outnumbers the people paying for the free shit. We have one chance to change that in 2012. Failure to change that spells the end of the United States as we know it.
