I wrote a brief letter to Gingrich's spokesperson expressing my hopes for a Newt 2012 campaign. Don't know if I will get a response, but if I do I will
share it.

Excellent question! All I can say is that if Newt doesn't make the first move we may have to make it for him. Let's see how it goes in about two years.

Comment on [Editorial] Obama's New Attack on Those Who Don't Want Higher Taxes: ‘Selfishness’

Robert, Thanks for the offer... I looked up that book on Amazon.com back when I posted on Obama's use of the phrase "Since when has selfishness become a virtue." My guess is one of his handlers say the title and liked it, just never bothered to read any of the book.

If you can find the book I'd love to borrow it. Thanks for the offer.

Comment on [Editorial] Obama's New Attack on Those Who Don't Want Higher Taxes: ‘Selfishness’

John,
Ayn Rand wrote a book entitled "The Virtue of Selfishness". How ironic. It is an amazing philosophy of how selfishness is correct and good and leads us to do things that, on the surface benefit others, but actually are in our own selfish best interest. Thus the title the virtue of selfishnes. She makes a brilliant argument. Have you ever read it? I think I have it around here somewhere if you are interested.

What can I do as an individual citizen to encourage Newt G. to run for president in 2012? He is a genius and a true patriot. I want to campaign for Newt starting today!

Comment on Obama Bombshell Audio Uncovered: He wants to Radically Reinterpret the Constitution to Redistribute Wealth!!

He wants us to share the wealth with the blacks?? We have been doing it for years by way of welfare. They are lazy, don't want to work...I know this for a fact with the blacks I know...they have getting it thru the taxes I pay from my work and overtime hours when I gave up my relaxation time. In the third world they have the right idea...If you don't work, you don't eat.

Comment on Obama Refuses to Answer Birth Certificate Lawsuit: Federally mandated deadline requiring Obama’s lawyers to produce a “vault” copy of his birth certificate expires with no response from Obama or his lawyers.

Barbara, I want to thank you for taking the time to research and respond to this article. I fear many Americans do not understand the significance of this issue as our public schools do not teach the History of America today. This is truly an attack on our Constitution and it is not being covered by the MSM, or is is simply attacked as being a nonissue. After all, who cares if he is a natural citizen on the US, he is The ONE.

I was reading from Sean Hannity's book, "Let Freedom Ring" this morning before I checked for comments and I found this information very disturbing [Emphasis is mine]:

Our public schools are dumbing down the curriculum, lowering academic standards, rewriting history , and promoting multiculturalism—which really means demonizing Western civilization. For example, one Monday morning in January of 2002, I woke up, headed to the radio studio at WABC, and went on-line to scan headlines on FoxNews.com, the Drudge Report, and newspaper web sites from all over the country. One story jumped out at me. It was written by Ellen Sorokin, a reporter for the Washington Times, and it was about how the liberals in the New Jersey Department of Education had just written a new set of history standards. Just one problem: they’d left out any mention of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, the Pilgrims, and the Mayflower . They also banned the word war, preferring that teachers talk about conflict instead. How in the world are you supposed to teach kids the lessons of American history if you willfully ignore its most important people and events? The answer, of course, is: you can’t.

I believe it was Khrushchev who warned us that he would conquer the US, not by War, but rather through the education of our children. It looks like the liberal bureaucrats are reading from the same book.

Again I want to thank you for taking the time to do the necessary research on this issue and then respond. for this you are truly a Patriot. I personally spent 19 days in Hawaii back in 1966 on leave from Vietnam. I cherish those memories.

BARBARA PETERSON — Sat, 25 Oct 2008 19:12:42 GMT

John, this is correct...I checked my birth certificate and it does have the Hawaii seal on it...so does my nephews and nieces and sisters and brother. There is definitely something fishy about this. IT STINKS! Every one should be made alert to this.

Comment on Open Feed: Here is your chance for your 15 minutes of fame, well, maybe 15 seconds...

Economics, Energy, Insurance, Jobs, Security, People should stick to the Issues no more negativity.

Comment on Dave Ramsey, Neal Cavuto, and Former Gov. Mike Huckabee agree on this plan. The rest of the world thinks the sky is falling and Government has to fix it.

You just made my day. I really appreciate your support.
