Have you been to a protest lately? It is a real eye opener. Everyone should at least see one, it will either strengthen your views or make you go screaming to the other side.....My question to the media is why these protests are not given the publicity they deserve? I wonder what their ANSWERS would be.

For those in the unknown, here is little history of Social Security.

When Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social Security (FICA)
Program. He promised:

1) Participation in the Program would be completely voluntary

2) The participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400 of their annual incomes into the Program

3) The money the participants elected to put into the Program would be deductible from their income tax each year

4) The money the participants put into the independent "Trust Fund"
rather than into the General operating fund, and therefore, would only be used to fund the Social Security Retirement Program, and no other Government program

5) The annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income.

Since many of us except government employees and politicians, have paid into FICA for years and some of us are now receiving a Social Security check every month -- and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of the money we paid to the Federal government to "put away," you may be interested in the following:

Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the independent "Trust"
fund and put it into the General fund so that Congress could spend it?

A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the Democratically-controlled House and Senate.

Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax deduction for Social
Security (FICA) withholding?

A: The Democratic Party.

Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social Security annuities?

A: The Democratic Party, with Al Gore casting the "tie-breaking" deciding
vote as President of the Senate, while he was Vice President of the U.S.

Q: Which Political Party decided to start giving annuity payments to
immigrants?

A: That's right! Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party. Immigrants Moved
into this country, and at age 65, began to receive SSI Social Security
payments! The Democratic Party gave these payments to them, even though they never paid a dime into it!

Then, after doing all this lying and thieving and violation of the Original
contract (FICA), the Democrats turn around and tell you that the Republicans want to take your Social Security away!

And the worst part about it is, uninformed citizens believe it! One more question, which political party wants to increase your taxes on your 401K? That's right, the Democrats once again. At least they are consistent.

Viet Nam War:
Sorry, but it was not only Nixon's war but President John F Kennedy (Democrat) sent the first troops to Viet Nam and President Lyndon Baines Johnson (Democrat) expanded it. It was President Nixon that pulled us out of Viet Nam. In fact, Senator Kerry was already out of Viet Nam when Milhouse Nixon was elected President. I am a little confused as to why he keeps calling it Nixon's war especially since Senator Kerry's very short time there was during President Johnson's tenure not President Nixon.

Attention everyone who has had a love one serve in Viet Nam, please know the following truths. They all served with honor and dignity and should always be respected for their duty and sacrifice to our Country. There were choices back then, they could have escaped to Canada like the cowards that did or gone to universities and majored in sex, drugs, and anti-war and anti-america propaganda. (Where do you think most of the public school teachers, professors we have now teaching our young came from??)

It is because of these brave young men and women that serve in our military that the ungrateful left should be thankful to. For the dictators that the left so endure are the same dictators that would have them all killed for their protesting. Tell me wise left one, why there were no or are no protests against the government in communist/socialist or dictatorial, tyrannical countries? Hmmmmmm. Ironic isn't it.... By the way, the majority of people backed our military back then but we kept silent. We became known as the silent majority. In fact, it was the silent majority that put Ronald Reagan in the white house. It is a fact President Jimmie Carter only won one state in his re-election bid, his home state of Georgia. Even the "democrats" voted him out back then and yet now, they gave him a Nobel peace prize. Go figure...

The democrat politicians definitely have a friend in the "main stream" media. Why are they considered main stream when their ratings are in the toilet? Can we say propaganda folks?

The terrorists has hit us many times during the past eleven years. In President Clinton's tenure of eight years at least six times, in President Bush's tenure only 1 time (in the first eight months of his Presidency). Don't know about you but I sure do not want my children nor grandchildren growing up with daily threats of suicide bombings, beheadings, blown up buses, trains,etc? The democrats have done enough to make this world dangerous as it is. We do not need any more of their guidance nor leadership from these rich elitists who only followers are those who are easily misled. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out who will keep our love ones safer and who will get them killed.

By the way, the Republican party started before the civil war because their platform was ANTI-SLAVERY. President Lincoln was the first Republican elected President. Sad that my eight grade grandchildren studying civil war history at this very moment in school was not taught this fact.

I think it is funny when I see a gas guzzling SUV with stickers stating the following: John Kerry for President, teach peace, pro-choice, anti-war, save the environment, pro-palestine, and my favorite, save the endangered what ever but what about the unborn child...

I always wondered why pro-choicer's mothers were not pro-choice. Maybe these people are angry because their mothers did not abort them or could not abort them. May be it is a womb issue....

Oh yes, feminists, explain to me how aborting my child empowers me as a female and in the meantime leaves the "father off the hook". Now I can understand why men (not real men) would back pro-choice (abortion to those who know the truth). As always since the beginning of time, these men get away with no aftermath except to do it again whispering, promising nothings with someone else while the women is left with lifetime consequences. Her Life will never be the same whether it be raising a child on her own with the stigma of being an unwed mother (when it was a stigma), or sent to a home for unwed mothers to give their child up for adoption, or to abort, kill their unborn. As usual women face the consequences and these same men face none what so ever. Oh yes hear my ovaries and womb yelled out I am woman, stick it to me again....(No pun intended)
Oh Yes, feminists you are definitely pro-women or is it pro-lesbian? Friends like you who needs enemies....

By the way, the above is not biased, not revisionists, nor lies but simple truths. That is the way it was, is and not the way it spins....
