An Opinion by Paul Sopsich(OCTP Member), Corwith Township

To the Editor (Gaylord Herald Times):

As we all know, the passage of time has a way of healing wounds and making us forget about issues that we may have been passionate about in the past.

This is part of the strategy that our “ruling class” in Washington is hoping will work in our upcoming elections. …

MLTA Opposes Lennox-Dean

From Canada Free Press

“In my own life, in my own small way, I have tried to give back to this country that has given me so much,” she said. “See, that’s why I left a job at a big law firm for a career in public service, “ Michelle Obama

No, Michele Obama does not get paid to serve as the First Lady and she doesn’t perform any official duties. But this hasn’t deterred her from hiring an unprecedented number of staffers to cater to her every whim and to satisfy her every request in the midst of the Great Recession. Just think Mary Lincoln was taken to task for purchasing china for the White House during the Civil War. And Mamie Eisenhower had to shell out the salary for her personal secretary. …

An undisclosed opinion follows:

(This is community organizing at it’s finest.)

There has NEVER been anyone in the White House at any time who has

created such an army of staffers whose sole duties are the facilitation of

the First Lady’s social life. One wonders why she needs so much help, at

taxpayer expense, when even Hillary, only had three; Jackie Kennedy one;

Laura Bush one; and prior to Mamie Eisenhower social help came from the

President’s own pocket.

Note: This does not include makeup artist Ingrid Grimes-Miles, 49,

and “First Hairstylist” Johnny Wright, 31, both of whom traveled aboard Air

Force One to Europe .

TO SPEND WILDLY WHEN IT’S NOT YOUR OWN MONEY?????

By Dewie Whetsell, Alaskan Fisherman..

as posted in comments on Greta’s article referencing the MOVE ON ad

about Sarah Palin.

The last 45 of my 66 years I’ve spent in a commercial fishing town

in Alaska. I understand Alaska politics but never understood national

politics well until this last year. Here’s the breaking point:

Neither side of the Palin controversy gets it. It’s not about

persona, style, rhetoric, it’s about doing things. Even Palin supporters

never mention the things that I’m about to mention here.

1. Democrats forget when Palin was the Darling of the Democrats,

because as soon as Palin took the Governor’s office away from a fellow

Republican and tough SOB, Frank Murkowski, she tore into the Republican’s

“Corrupt Bastards Club” (CBC) and sent them packing. Many

of them are now residing in State housing and wearing orange jump

suits. The Democrats reacted by skipping around the yard, throwing confetti

and singing, “la la la la” (well, you know how they are). Name another

governor in this country that has ever done anything similar.

2. Now with the CBC gone, there were fewer Alaskan politicians to

protect the huge, giant oil companies here. So she constructed and enacted a

new system of splitting the oil profits called “ACES.” Exxon (the biggest

corporation in the world) protested and Sarah told them,

“dn’t let the door hit you in the stern on your way out.” They

stayed, and Alaska residents went from being merely wealthy to being filthy

rich. Of course, the other huge international oil companies meekly fell in

line. Again, give me the name of any other governor in the country that has

done anything similar.

3. The other thing she did when she walked into the governor’s

office is she got the list of State requests for federal funding for

projects, known as “pork.” She went through the list, took 85% of them and

placed them in the “when-hell-freezes-over” stack. She let locals know that

if we need something built, we’ll pay for it ourselves. Maybe she figured

she could use the money she got from selling the previous governor’s jet

because it was extravagant.

Maybe she could use the money she saved by dismissing the governor’s

cook (remarking that she could cook for her own family), giving back the

State vehicle issued to her, maintaining that she already had a car, and

dismissing her State provided security force (never mentioning – I imagine -

that she’s packing heat herself). I’m still waiting to hear the names of

those other governors.

4. Now, even with her much-ridiculed “gosh and golly” mannerism, she

also managed to put together a totally new approach to getting a natural gas

pipeline built which will be the biggest private construction project in the

history of North America. No one else could do it although they tried. If

that doesn’t impress you, then you’re trying too hard to be unimpressed

while watching her do things like this while baking up a batch of brownies

with her other hand.

5. For 30 years, Exxon held a lease to do exploratory drilling at a

place called Point Thompson. They made excuses the entire time why they

couldn’t start drilling. In truth they were holding it like an investment.

No governor for 30 years could make them get started.

Then, she told them she was revoking their lease and kicking them

out.. They protested and threatened court action. She shrugged and reminded

them that she knew the way to the court house. Alaska won again.

6. President Obama wants the nation to be on 25% renewable resources

for electricity by 2025. Sarah went to the legislature and submitted her

plan for Alaska to be at 50% renewable by 2025. We are already at 25%. I can

give you more specifics about things done, as opposed to style and persona.

Everybody wants to be cool, sound cool, look cool. But that’s just a

cover-up. I’m still waiting to hear from liberals the names of other

governors who can match what mine has done in two and a half years. I won’t

be holding my breath.

By the way, she was content to return to AK after the national

election and go to work, but the haters wouldn’t let her. Now these

adolescent screechers are obviously not scuba divers. And no one ever told

them what happens when you continually jab and pester a barracuda. Without

warning, it will spin around and tear your face off. Shoulda known better.

You have just read the truth about Sarah Palin that sends the media,

along with the democrat party, into a wild uncontrolled frenzy to discredit

her. I guess they are only interested in skirt chasers, dishonesty, immoral

people, liars, womanizers, murderers, and bitter ex-presidents’ wives.

Are you affected?

President Barack Obama campaigned on the notion that he wouldn’t raise taxes on anyone making less than $250,000. Or was it $225,000? Or maybe it was $200,000. Anyway, that’s what he said, even though the figures changed from time to time… depending on his mood, I guess.

Beginning in 2011, when the tax cuts instituted under President George W. Bush expire, all sorts of tax increases will hit the American taxpayer—for those making more than $200,000 and for those making less.

The tax brackets change.

The marriage penalty returns.

The tax credit for children decreases from $1,000 per child to $500.

What does healthcare have to do with gold sales? In the minds of the fascist crafters of the Obamacare law: apparently a lot.

Tucked away in the 2,300 page bill, in section 9006, is a provision that expands the scope of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Form 1099. Beginning Jan. 1, 2012, a Form 1099 will have to be filed to report to the IRS the purchase of all goods and services by small business and self-employed people that exceed $600 during a calendar year. …

Obama Must be Impeached: He’s Either Incompetent, or Purposely Failing

From  Canada Free Press

By Kelly O’Connell  Sunday, July 18, 2010

Is there a single American who secretly thinks Obama’s up to the task of the presidency? Or, does anyone believe Barack does not take bad situations and worsen them to magnify his power? These are rhetorical questions, of course. The only way Barack is an acceptable president is if you’re an opponent of America’s greatest achievements.

Therefore, if you support Obama it means you want to revolutionize the US. But no democratic country knowingly elects leaders to debase their country, give away power, bankrupt the treasury, incorporate socialism, dissolve constitutional rights, cripple capitalism, and menace every citizen with reckless policies. That would be ridiculous and anti-American. Barack has done all these things. Therefore, he must be impeached.

From the Center for Individual Freedom

The Obama Administration is moving full steam ahead with efforts to force you to give up your private health insurance in favor of a government-run ObamaCare plan.

To be sure, informed Americans have known for some time that Obama was LYING when he said, “if you like your health care plan, you will be able to keep your health care plan. Period. No one will take it away, no matter what.”

In fact, study after study demonstrates that tens of millions of Americans – or more – stand to lose their current health insurance asObamaCare is fully implemented. And to add insult to injury, on July 14,under the cover of darkness, the Obama Administration quietly issued a directive that will supposedly force your insurance company to start providing services at “no cost.”

A Great Explanation

Although the United States’ welfare rolls are already swollen, every year we import more people who wind up on public assistance: immigrants. Many immigrants are poor; indeed, that is why they come here. …

More and more Chinese bloggers are using the newer microblogs as their primary publishing tool, using their brief, punchy message format to chat with one another and promote their longer blog posts. But one of the country’s top four microblog sites is now down for maintenance, and the other three show a “beta” tag as if they are in testing, though they have been operating for months. The companies that run the websites aren’t saying why.
