A lot has being said by everybody and their sister about Obama’s speech on patriotism. I have done a lot of criticizing, and if you read my posts, you see that I have tried to be fair by criticizing everybody. I do not like Senator Obama, any more than I like Senator Clinton, or Senator McCain for that matter. I believe that all three candidates lean left. Obama and Clinton’s policies are taken out of the pages of Carl Marx. I have many articles where I comment on that fact.

But regarding his speech on patriotism, he was pretty much on point. I listen to a lot of it, and the only part that I question is when he said that he was not going to seat still while people attack his patriotism, and this is only because actions speak louder than words.

When you want to prove that you are a patriot, you prove it by your actions and your words, but mostly by your actions. And when you live your entire live surrounded by America haters, and being indoctrinated by professors who shape your mind to think like Karl Marx, people have the right to question your loyalties.

Take for example the man who he called his mentor and spiritual guide. His sermons alone, those who were publicly sold at church prove that he, Jeremiah Wright, hates America. Everybody else that defends him, I do not know, they might just be naïve. But Reverend Wright, he knew very well what he was doing, he was planting the seeds of hate for our Nation, while laughing his way to the bank. Those who sat with him for twenty years or more, and did not confronted him, or change place of worship, either agree with the “hate America, hate the white man” speeches, are deaf, are naïve, or, I really do not know. Senator Obama is either naïve, agrees with Wright, or did not had the guts to confront his mentor right away and until it was politically expedient, which puts his qualifications for President of the United States into question.

Take Mr. William Ayres, there is no reason whatsoever why a true patriot would not call out Mr. Ayres. For goodness sake, THE MAN CONFESSED TO BOMB THE PENTAGON AND POLICE STATIONS. If anything, at least he is a murderous felon, at the most, A DARN SELF CONFESSED HOMEGROWN TERRORIST. Every military person in the United States swears to protect the Nation against “all enemies foreign and domestic”. Why should the person that wants to be the Commander in Chief of the United States Military not prove that he or she would protect the Nation before he or she takes command? It is a qualification that needs to be enforced. And for those who say that he really did not know this scumbag, how come Obama’s Senator campaign was launched from Ayres house?

The Cap and Trade Bill Amendment sponsored by Warner, Lieberman, and Boxer will be debated this coming week.

Because of all the flawed assumptions, logic, and pseudo science, the bill is just a nightmare awaiting to happen for all consumers and capitalist alike.

Please, contact your Senators and Congress People. Yes I know that sometimes there is more common sense in a Kinder Garden Room than in the halls of Government, but if we raise our voices loud enough, hopefully, they will hear us.

On regards to the Amendment of 110th Cong., 2d Session. S. 3036, it is my purpose to call your attention to the following:

Dan Morgan, writing for the Colorado Springs Gazette, comments in an article from the Washington Post on how wheat is no longer king in the United States. Immortalized in song and in our legal tender, our Nation was called at one time the breadbasket of the world. But fraud, waste, abuse, and stupidity on part of our politicians have achieved what many believed to be impossible. The United States is no longer able to feed the hungry of the world.

Those are strong words, I know, what do you call it when our government pay farmers to cultivate fifteen million acres of wheat, the farmers received the payment, and planted other crops that where not wheat? That to me is fraud plain and simply.

You would ask, but what does this has to do with me? The answer is simple. Do you eat bagels, or do you like sandwiches, or do you like wheat tortillas, or toast with your breakfast? If your answer yes to this question, think again. The price of everything that is made with wheat is on the rise.

Ethanol plants in the United States are paying farmers $5.50 a bushel, more than ever before. Farmers received the go ahead and plant other crops than wheat by Congress in 1996. And because corn is purchased for ethanol, there is not enough corn for other purposes, like feeding people, or feeding chickens, or pigs. So guess what? Since corn is used primarily to produce fuel, those who want to feed chickens and pigs need to pay higher price for the feed. In the event that you have not gone to the supermarket lately, google the price of eggs, or chicken meat, or food in general, how about the price of corn oil? Those prices are soaring.

Why would farmers want to plant any other crop than corn, if corn is a more durable crop, easier to produce and harvest, and there is an easily available market for such product?

Lets also touch another related topic. Because we believe in free trade, and please do not take me wrong, free trade is great, other Nations of the world come here to the United States and purchase all the wheat they can. This makes sense since the dollar is worth next to nothing now days, thus making the price of our crops expensive for the American public, and cheap for the foreign buyer.

The end result is that farmers are becoming richer, and while this is normal, and our farmers deserve to reap the benefit of their hard work, we need to be smarter than that.

In a related article of the Colorado Springs Gazette, the author quotes from Science magazine concluding that greenhouse-gas emissions from corn and cellulosic ethanol “exceed or match those from fossil fuels and therefore produce no greenhouse benefits.”

My questions to our politicians is simple: when will you stop from shooting our Nation on the foot? Ethanol is a lousy substitute for regular fuel; farmers keep receiving subsidies to produce crops that are paid at a higher price than they are worth, and even worst, subsidies to produce wheat, while they are producing corn. We allow our trading partners to take all the wheat that could feed our American population, while other Nations already stopped allowing others to purchase their crops of wheat.

An inmate in Arkansas jail complaints that he went from 413 pounds to 308 pounds in eight months that he has spent in jail for apparently beating and stabbing someone along with an accomplice. So he suits the county.

I am a firm believer on the American concept of innocent until proven guilty; but I do not really believe that if you are in jail, and the jail provides you an average of three thousand calories per day, you should not complaint about the amount of food being served. You can whine with everybody else that the jail people do not cook like your mother, but that is about it.

If you weight in excess of four hundred pounds, and you loose over one hundred, you should be grateful to the authorities and as long as you are not sick, say thank you, and shut up. If on top of that you are awaiting trial for murder, and it was not self-defense, you should say thank you for having something to eat, and a lawyer provided at taxpayers expense unless you are paying for it yourself.

Capital murder criminals have in my opinion, too many rights. They took someone’s life, they left children without parents, and spouses without companion, and most of them do not care for the rule of the law. Jail is more a clubhouse than a place of punishment. Recidivism is the rampant in the United States. Most criminals that go back on the streets, end up committing the same or another crime, sometimes even more violent. They are not afraid of going back to jail.
