The energy stakes were  raised with Russia’s invasion of Georgia.  The Kremlin has made a military move because they want to control the oil pipe line that runs through the former Soviet state.  Their military easily advanced and is entrenched in Georgia.  As President Bush, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, and NATO have moved to bring about a cease fire, the Russians have continued to advance and destroy infrastructure that moves oil to market.  A major problem is occurring because all of Europe, and that includes NATO  get their majority of energy from Russia.  Moscow controls this situation and has America’s attention just as the Iranians are finishing the last phase of the nuclear bomb.  Needless to say the Israeli people are watching closely.
    The entire Russian economy is driven by their state run energy business.  The higher the price, more the profit for the government.  The nation has much to gain by cutting or controlling  oil supply because that raises energy prices.  They have been active in the design, building and maintenance of the Iran nuclear sector.  Again, destabilizing the entire world oil market to drive global cost through the roof.  The Kremlin has a interest and history in encouraging uncertainty anywhere in the world, and are rewarded by financial gain in the energy sector.  Just as the Russians are in Georgia they are also allies of the radical Islamic regime in Iran.
    Needless to say, as this scenario plays out, the American voters are putting money in the Russia’s military’s hands just like we are supporting the radical Iranian regime.  The  American people have their hands tied just like the Europeans do with one exception.  America controls our own destiny because the United States has more energy reserves than OPEC.  With the price of oil and gas at all time highs and rising, the Democrats have denied America the use of our own natural resources.  Democratic leadership and regulation have protected  OPEC and Russian profits, have rewarded radical nations for war like behavior,  and caused Americans and Europeans financial difficultly.  Now with Europe under the thumb of Putin, Europeans will be held hostage by Moscow’s energy policy.  For all of eastern Europe, memories of the Soviet communists are very real. 
    America needs energy and jobs. Europe would like to have our problem because they could solve their problem by drilling for oil and building refineries. Iran is in the process of building 7 refineries currently.  Iran, just like Russia, know that oil and refineries equal low energy costs, financial security and national security, something the Democrats have long forgotten.
    I would like to suggest opening all American land via a national security emergency.  The Democratic party has brought this world to a state of  energy conflict.  It is time for the Democratic party to stand down and step away from their failed energy policy.  The Democratic regulations have the entire world by the throat and Russia and OPEC are applying the pressure.  The left’s regulations protect the OPEC businesses and fund destabilizing terrorism.  The Democratic policies have helped the Russian’s oil industry and rewarded any violent military incursions that bring America into global disputes.   The left protects the Chinese/Cuban business as they drill off of the coast of Florida, and of course the Venezuelan dictator’s business.  It is no coincidence that stated enemies with oil resources are destabilizing democracies across the world, their rewards are financial gain payed for by consumers worldwide.  The United States has enough oil for America and all of Europe except our natural resources are controlled by Democratic regulations.  The time has come to remove the obsolete Democratic energy regulations and provide high paying long term jobs for Americans.   Europe needs cheap oil and natural gas and America can provide it.  Clearly, OPEC and Russia want to control the world’s economies via the oil market and the Democrats are helping.

              Last Friday, Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi sent the House to adjournment for a month-long vacation.  However, Republicans are meeting in an effort to bring political pressure and the knowledge of another failed Democratic policy to the voting public. Speaker Pelosi immediately went on a book signing tour without voting on key energy legislation that could give Americans relief from the high cost of fuel.  The Democrats have a long history of attacking the American energy sector and because of that, Americans have paid and will pay for this failure. It is the Democratic policies that deny the opening of oil fields on American soil and off shore.  Washington’s leftist policies have been a complete failure.  Democratic legislation has raised oil prices, food prices, denies Americans high paying long term jobs, and does not increase supply.  With Democratic leaders, Sen. Barack Obama, the Presidential candidate from Illinois, and Democratic House leader Nancy Pelosi (Ca)  the Democrats are in total disarray on the energy issue.  The Democrats historically have fought energy independence at every turn and every opportunity causing today’s energy crisis across our nation.  The Democrats have attacked the coal,  natural gas, oil and refining industries making it more difficult to do business and raising prices for Americans.  
         At this time, the American consumers are at the mercy of OPEC and  Marxist states like Venezuela.  The United States economy, and every citizen  is dependant on the most unstable countries in the world and stated enemies.  This is an economic and national security disaster in progress.  The economic disaster speaks for itself in rising prices on goods and service, rising prices on gasoline, and the deifying of high paying long term jobs across America.  Most importantly, the Democratic energy policies have taken America to total dependance on imported OPEC oil.  The United States of America spends $700 billion a year buying oil from stated enemies and supporter of terror. That $700 billion is approximately 4 times the cost of the war in Iraq war at this time. The time has come for America to stand up to the economy killing Democratic regulations and stop the forced  funding of terror states that are members of OPEC.  The Democratic leftists energy policies support the OPEC economies and fund the terrorist that work from OPEC nations.  Whenever the Democrats speak of “evil big oil”know that every Middle Eastern terror sponsoring state knows that Americans have fallen for the foolishness of Democratic leadership.  The OPEC nations oil companies make profits that make Exxon-Mobil like microscopic.
http://cleantechlawandbusiness.com/cleanbeta/index.php/510/opec-profits-to-more-than-double-in-2008/
The Energy Information Administration estimates that OPEC’s net oil export revenues will be $1.251 trillion in 2008.  Clearly, the Democrats energy policy has taken jobs from Americans and funded terrorism across the world.  The Democrats have guaranteed that Americans fund our enemies to the tune of $700 Billion in 2007 and a substantial increase for 2008.  So when you see or read about another Democrat in the Middle East kissing the backside of a OPEC dictator, be well aware that the Democrats are the ones in bed with “evil” big oil.  This should be more troubling to Americans than Democrat Rep.  John Murtha’s  attacks and condemnation of the United States Marines on the battlefield of Haditha.

    The Democrat energy plan for lowering oil and gas prices is quite disturbing when you  think about it.  Their plan, via Democratic congressman Phi Hare’s office in the 17th district in Illinois, is to suspend oil shipment to the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.  File suit against the OPEC oil producers in US courts, and of course raise taxes on the American oil industry. Clearly, the Democrats in congress would cause prices to increase  with these leftist measures.  The Democrats are siding, not with the American people, but with OPEC.  As the Democrat leadership denies American’s high paying long term jobs in the energy sector, the price of oil continues to rise.  With the price at $140 per barrel, oil has become the central issue for every voting  American this election season. America’s energy policy has been written by the Democrat’s environmentalist wing.  These special interests, along with trial lawyers, and Democratic politicians in the federal government and the state level have achieved a stranglehold over America’s oil resources at the cost of every working American.

      The American voters and businesses are fighting for financial survival against the Democratic regulations at the same time OPEC  earns record profits that make Exxon-Mobil’s profit look minuscule. OPEC members earned $673 billion http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/cabs/OPEC_Revenues/Factsheet.html   in 2007.  Profits for 2008 are estimated at $1.2 trillion.  Needless to say, Exxon-Mobil’s $40.6 billion in profits when compared to OPEC profits are minuscule.  I, for one am glad that Exxon-Mobil is an very successful American company with American employees. However, the Democrats never attack these OPEC oil giants, they only attack American companies.  That same Democratic party has done everything in there power to harm America’s most productive company.  Democratic policies have rewarded OPEC countries at the cost of denying the America citizenry high paying long term jobs with benefits that result  from America’s natural resources.   At the same time, every major American oil producer has to ward off attacks by every Democrat in politics.  The Democratic policies have, for decades, made the members of OPEC among the wealthiest countries in the world.  This reality also means that the American voters and consumers have and will build the entire economies of OPEC nations like Iran, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, and Lybia along with 9 others for a total membership of 13.  These OPEC nations have gained great favor with the Democratic party because it has been  the left who has written energy policies which have made the OPEC members rich beyond their wildest dreams.  The left has advanced the economies, with jobs and business development, of stated enemies, and terror supporters, at the expense of the American economy and it’s people.  By supporting OPEC, the Democrats have forced the American people to build the armies of Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Venezuela and others as they fund radical Islamic terrorists    We, the people of America have provided the money to rebuild  OPEC  counties  instead of rebuilding  America.  While supporting policies that have multiplied OPEC wealth, the Democrats domestic energy policies have denied Americans a tax base while cutting high paying jobs that were sent overseas.

    Another very important result of Democratic energy policies has been the funding of terror supporting states in the Middle East and South America.  The Middle East has a long history of the most radical Islamic terrorists in the world.  Al-Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, and dozens more enjoy funding from many of wealthy OPEC nations.  Iraq under Saddam Hussain.  http://www.husseinandterror.com/Iran since the Carter administration. http://www.iranterror.com/  Venezuela has attempted to destabilize the democratically elected government of Columbia and is an great ally of Iran.
http://archive.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2001/9/20/181037.shtml Democrats have supported these same types of nations in the past.  The Democratic Presidential candidate, Barack Obama, has supported trade with Castro in communist Cuba, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZ3SVok9g34&eurl but not with the  elected Pro-American Columbia government. http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2008/04/03/america/Colombia-US-Obama.php,
    I would further note that OPEC and radical Islam could not possibly write a better oil policy for themselves than the one the Democrats have written for the America people.  The Democratic energy policies fit the agendas of radical terrorists and OPEC nations but not the agenda of the American people.  The Democratic party has made their choice.

    The United States of America has more than three times the domestic oil in one oil field found in the Rocky Mountains  http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5424033  
than Saudi Arabia has in their entire country.  The good news gets even better for the American voters and public.  There has been a recent discovery of a gigantic oil field in the South Dakota and Montana region. This discovery is three times larger than the Rocky Mountains find.  http://www.nextenergynews.com/news1/next-energy-news2.13s.html  This find has been estimated as a  super massive 200 billion barrel oil field that could potentially make America energy independent for generations.   This new oil field will raise American reserves times 10.  This monumental asset  will offer  many generations of Americans the resources needed to run our economy and raise the quality of life for all in our country.  These oil fields are America’s greatest natural resource and quite possibly the American workers brightest future.  Oil field workers will be in high demand and should reap very good jobs in today’s market. These fields will provide high paying long term employments with benefits to workers and a substantial tax base for infrastructure improvement throughout America, just when it is needed.  Added to these facts is the ANWR field in Alaska.  Governor Palin has pushed ANWR's as an energy resource and Alaska's ability to produce more domestic energy while providing high paying long term jobs.  These jobs  will offer a vast improvement in the quality of life to all Alaskans.  Another gold mine for all Americans reside on both on east and west coasts and the gulf of Mexico.  The continental shelf is a great untaped resource.   China, Holland, Spain, France, and Canada  are working with the Cuba government in the gulf of Mexico to access this countries natural resources.
                                                                               
          America has the perfect opportunity at the perfect time.  America needs oil and high paying jobs with benefits.  The economy needs a boost and this is it.  America’s continued funding of terror supporting regimes via the oil market, has been and will continue to be national security issue of the highest magnitude.  To continue to fund terror supporting states like  Iran, Syria, Saudi Arabia , and Venezuela at this or any other time is beyond reason.  Since the United States has not added an oil refinery since 1976, there is a great opportunity for economic and job growth in this area also.  Again, this growth features high paying long term jobs with benefits, something that everyone desires. Iron workers, carpenters, pipe fitters, electricians, millwrights, laborers, painters, all the technical workers, office workers and engineers will be needed for America’s refinery expansion.
    The Democrats for decades have controlled America’s oil resources by supporting the environmentalists agenda.  The world’s economic growth, consumption, and the Democrats leftist policies have driven the price up and supply availability down. Democratic legislation has raised oil prices and sent jobs over seas.  Current legislation will not and has not increased oil supply while demand has multiplied causing prices to rise.  This failure will continue to cause voters financial distress. With recent legislation tabled to ban oil drilling in Alaska permanently,  http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/6236367.stm the Democrats have decided the American voters desire higher energy prices.  In fact, the Pelosi, Reid, Democratic congress has added $18 billion of news taxes on America’s biggest oil companies. With world wide consumption levels higher than production levels by approximately 5 million barrels a day.* http://www.saudinf.com/main/z001.htm Americans can expect the oil price to continue to rise.  Opening oil fields will provide more oil into the market at a time when every American is needing
                                                                   
lower prices. At this time, the American consumers are at the mercy of OPEC and  Marxist states like Venezuela.  America’s economy and every citizen  is dependent on the most unstable countries in the world and stated enemies. Clearly, this is an economic and national security disaster in progress.  At this time, the U.S. government has failed to met the needs of the people.  
    This author notes that Iran is in the process of building seven refineries, adding  jobs and gasoline accessibility for the Iranian people. http://www.payvand.com/news/08/jun/1006.html  Iran will not be dependent on any country unlike the United States.  Even the Iranians know that energy independence stabilizes the economy and protects their national security. I would suggest that American consumers have assisted in paying for the Iranian energy expansion and has provided jobs for the Iranian people.  These same funds have had a devastating effect on American troops in Iran’s proxy war against the U.S.  Clearly, OPEC is the beneficiary of the Democratic energy policy and not the American people. It is this writers opinion, that ultimately America is better off with high paying long term jobs that lower energy prices and energy independence from the Middle East. If America chooses we can have  more high paying jobs in the energy sector.  The American people must demand government act responsibly at this time.  For you and your family,  I ask that you call, write, or email your state and federal representatives to let them know what you think of this great opportunity.  Clearly, our elected officials need the wisdom of American people at this time. The answer for America’s energy and financial problems reside in our backyard.

        At what prices do the Democrats open the oil fields? By Mike Moseley
    We are in the middle of a economic crises because of the price of oil and gas. However, U.S. energy policies are outdated and have stopped the American economy cold. These outdated leftist policies have succeeded in making energy cost more than we can afford. Americans don’t need more regulations from Washington. America needs more oil supply and more refinery capacity. The only place that we can’t get oil is from all our domestic sources. If you feel that gas is too high, please thank the Democratic environmental energy policies that have overwhelmed the American economy.
            We as a nation are at a crossroads.  Should we continue to pay higher and higher prices at the pump? Will we import oil from terrorist countries and watch the American economy go into a deep recession. Or should we make a decision to open domestic oil fields and build more refineries? That would provide Americans with more oil in the market, lower prices and add high paying, long term employment. The Democrats answer is their recent legislation to ban oil drilling in Alaska permanently. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/6236367.stm It would seem the Democrats have decided the American voters want higher energy prices with no chance for higher quality employment, especially in Alaska. With world wide consumption levels higher than production levels by approximately 5 million barrels a day.* http://www.saudinf.com/main/z001.htm Americans can expect the oil price to continue to rise.             
             When the Democrats won the election in 2006, the price for a barrel of oil was at the $58 mark. The left’s stranglehold on the domestic oil supply is troubling indeed. The Democrats are forcing America to buy oil from terrorist states.  Clearly, this issue falls under national security.
            The Democrats have refused to open domestic oil fields to support the voters and the American economy. When the left took over in the fall of 2006 the price for a barrel of oil was $58. At this time a barrel of crude oil is $124. The Democrats will wait for $130, $150,$180 or even $200 per barrel. Something to consider with each of these marks is, will the economy crumble further at $150 to $200 per barrel. I don’t need to guess the answer. Just like every reader knows, the economy will be in ruins. Americans that haven’t got financial problems now will have them in the future with energy prices rising more by the day.
             Something else to consider, is when we open domestic oil fields off shore, in Alaska and every place available, many high paying, long term jobs will help the America family and every business. I believe that these new jobs will have a stabilizing effect on the economy and starve off further economic problems. Most importantly, this a great opportunity to rebuild and develop all of America’s infrastructure. The infrastructure of America needs to be upgraded and expanded as it is. These new jobs would move this country into the 21st century and include oil field workers, refinery workers, and construction workers of all kinds. Iron workers, carpenters, pipe fitters, electricians, millwrights, laborers, painters, all the technical workers, office workers and engineers will be needed for America’s growth. This opportunity will offer high paying long term jobs to a generation of the American working men and women.  It is beyond insane to have an energy policy that doesn’t include America’s natural resouses.
    Again I ask, at what price do the Democrats open the oil fields?

       

    It is the Democratic policies that deny the opening of oil fields on American soil and off shore.  Washington’s leftist regulations have stopped energy companies from building refineries.  For decades, special interest groups such as the Sierra Club and Green Peace have lobbied for legislation that denies American companies access to domestic oil fields.  Wikipedia.com list 89 environmental groups.   Special interests and Democratic politicians in the federal government and the state level have achieved a stranglehold over America’s oil resources.  It is common knowledge that maintains ,with more oil in the market our consumers would see the price of oil drop and stabilize.  At this time, the American consumers are at the mercy of OPEC and states such as Venezuela.  The United States economy, and every citizen  is dependant on the most unstable countries in the world and stated enemies.  
       With the removal or correction of leftist policies, American companies would expand in business and hire American workers.  These high quality jobs would provide workers with benefits such as health insurance and a retirement plan,  something that everyone desires. Added to that failure are the Democratic policies and special interest lawsuits, by trial lawyers, that stop companies from building refineries.  The cost of lawsuits are passed on to the consumer as a business expense, raising prices. These refineries would add gas to the market and cause the price of gas to be reduced. Again, refineries provide good high paying jobs with benefits for workers.  America’s last refinery was built in Garyville, Louisiana in 1976.  I’m amazed that gas isn’t higher. Another point to consider, is the cost of goods and services that increase with fuel and oil based materials.  America’s natural resources should be used to grow good jobs domestically instead of outsourcing the jobs to the Middle East.    It is interesting that Communist China, working with the Cuban government, is in the process of building an oil field off the Florida coast.
            These investments in American resources would deny terror states U.S. funding via the oil market. The Left has denied voters  the financial stability that American jobs provide while growing an important sector of business.  At this time of economic upheaval, high quality jobs in the energy sector would provide American citizens long term  financial stability that NAFTA has denied since the Clinton administration. Clearly, the Democrats have failed to protect  an American economic sector that needs to expand for quality jobs, voters financial stability and national security.  It is this writers opinion, that ultimately America is better off with high paying long term jobs and energy independence from the Middle East.  America needs to bring jobs home starting with the energy sector.

        Recession for American workers      By Mike Moseley              2-22-08

    With the job market getting more difficult by the day, Washington has decided that American business needs more workers competing for fewer jobs. Illinois Senator Dick Durbin (D), Nevada Senator Harry Reid (D), and others on Capitol Hill have been having meetings where leaders of both Parties have shown a desire during this time of economic upheaval to sneak through massive increases of foreign workers.  It is Washington’s action and inaction that has been partly responsible for today’s recession.  Workers loss wages across the board and the open border policies  have caused the welfare state to expand.
    Washington’s refusal to secure the United States borders with Mexico has had a devastating effect on the American worker.  Working citizen’s wages have been uncut on every manual labor job across the U.S. As American jobs are reduced because of business cutbacks, career politicians in Washington have decided that an increase in the number of workers is important. H-1B visas for foreign tech workers, H-2B visas for foreign laborers, green cards for permanent foreign nurses and a five-year visa for 12-20 million illegal foreign workers and their dependents will act as competition for American workers.
    Washington’s plan will cause jobs that include benefits to decline.   More workers competing for fewer jobs will cause wages to drop.  The American economy, fighting to stay alive in spite of the housing crisis, will incur more governmental spending on welfare programs.  For those coming into America that can’t find a job, Washington will expand the welfare system to cover all needs. With American workers  looking for ways to increase their monthly income, Washington seems to believe that lowering wages and spending more on welfare is a smart thing to do.  It’s hard to imagine how lower wages and cheaper labor could improve the lives of the  American voter.  In fact, the results of Washington’s work has left the American worker unable to meet financial obligations that a generation ago were automatic with stable jobs.
    Last fall the American people spoke clearly to career politicians, however Washington’s leaders have tried on numerous occasions to make back room deals that would bring foreign workers into our country.  American citizens will have to go through the upcoming  recession while fighting to maintain their jobs and benefits that Washington would give away.  Political leaders have been attacking the American worker and our families since NAFTA was signed into law.  This attack is not likely to stop anytime soon as all three Presidential candidates, Sen John McCain( R Az), Sen Barak Obama (D Il) and Sen Hillary Clinton (D NY)  have ties to the open border lobby.  Clearly, Washington considers  illegal labor more important than American labor.  At this time, the American workers knows he does not have an ally in Washington D.C.

  

 Luckily we have an election.               By Mike Moseley

           The open border Democrats have been successful in transferring much of the Mexican and Central American poverty  into U.S. urban cities.  Sanctuary city policies separate Americans from jobs and tax payers from benefits that U.S. citizens should reap.  The Democrats support of sanctuary city policies has had a devastating effect on the poor and working class individuals because illegals have undercut wages on every job.  The Hispanic community that has moved into the Democratic strongholds like New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and San Francisco are destined to a life of  poverty because of the failed urban schools.  These urban school failures have held minorities hostage for decades. These failures will have a devastating effect on the American economy for generations.  Another very disturbing reality is that Democrats have opened up America’s welfare state to illegals.  The American government spends an estimated $338.3 billion a year on benefits for citizen of countries other than America.  These expenditures would go a long way in correcting the Social Security gap. Look for disbursements in social services to sky rocket as  Hispanic women have the highest unmarried birthrate in the country. Moreover, 48 percent of all Hispanic births occur outside of marriage. Also, Hispanics have the highest school drop-out rate in the country, a recipe for economic and social disaster. It is estimated that this population will increase three times in the next few decades. Welfare, medical care and housing are the gifts of the left that are paid for by legal citizens.  Health care faculties in the southwest have had to close because of the influx of “anchor babies” and emergency room visits by illegals.   The inflow of illegal aliens has serious hidden medical consequences.  Third world diseases such as drug-resistant tuberculosis, malaria, leprosy, plague, polio, dengue, and Chagas disease have appeared.  These diseases have been defeated by the American health field for quite some time.                The fact is that police departments in almost every city in the nation spend  their time responding to crime by illegal aliens.  Officers look for the illegal alien culprits, arresting them when their local laws allow them to.  They have to process them through the system which means more officers and bigger departments that are stretched to the limit by people who shouldn't be here in the first place.  The court systems are backed up and  taxpayers foot the bill for processing.  (California spends an estimated $1 billion a year housing illegals in their  prison system) The loss of life on our highways is  well documented.  The national murder rate has increased along with gang activity.   Smuggling people and illegal drugs into the United States has increased.  The people that live in Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and California have been devastated by crime and illegal drugs.
     It is my opinion that illegal immigration is key to our the future. Government needs to reduce spending.  Americans need higher paying jobs with benefits.  Clearly, this issue is still in play after watching President Bush’s State of the Union speech.  President Bush and his open border  allies have de-funded the border fence once before.  These same elected officials have attempted to deceive voters.    It was the American people that sent the amnesty legislation and Dick Durbin’s  “Dream Act” to defeat multiple times last fall. Will we see those nightmares again? Washington’s priorities include giving  stimulus rebate checks to illegals to help the American economy.   Washington’s priorities and  policies have made Americans  second class citizens in our own country. It is these policies that spell disaster for every sanctuary city and the state that it resides in. America’s legal citizens will pay the price for Washington’s foolishness. Luckily, we have an election.

    Some questions to consider about change                     1-16-08
    By Mike Moseley
       The new word for today and the election season is change. Mr Obama used the word liberally in each of the recent debates. Not to be outdone, Mrs. Clinton used the word as a fix all. Mr Edwards is also expressed that he would be the leader in change. The Republicans expressed their willingness to change. Mr McCain says that Washington needs to change and he is the one to do it . Mr. Huckebee says that he changed Arkansas and he could change Washington. Mr Romney says that he has been successful at change in the private sector and in public office. So you get the picture. The American people are tired of Washington politics. Most people  think of change as a good thing for our broken government. Just a couple questions to consider.
Is the answer for America found in border security and wall being built? Or is the answer amnesty for illegals and open borders?
    Is the answer for America found in the continued spending of $335 billion dollars a year on benefits, welfare, medical care for non citizens? Or is the answer, use the taxpayers money to rebuild social security for the baby boomers and generations to come?
     Will America’s taxpayers foot the bill for massive spending increases to expanded the S-chip program to cover 12-20 million illegals and their families ( possibly up to 50 million). Or will America demand Washington use tax money on legal citizens?
     Does Mexico’s welfare state and criminal element  make us better as a nation? Or can America’s citizens afford the cost  that is associated with a third world country’s welfare and criminal state?
    If American leadership extends amnesty to 50 million people, 12-20 million illegals plus family members, do the tax payers have the financial ability to pay for a massive tax increase?  Or will seniors have to take a benefits cut instead?  Or will the massive spending program bankrupt states and the U.S. government?
     Will America put a end to the Mexican military invasion of the sovereign United States?  Or will we allow the Mexican military to disregard the southern borders as they bring illegals and drugs into our country?
       Is America better off because of cheap labor undercutting decent wages? Or would we be better off with more high paying jobs?
     Do American men in uniform perform any better with a divided government that offers terrorist more respect and rights than our soldiers get? Or would America be better if the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan had a supporting voice of victory from both sides of government?
     If the new administration changes the terror surveillance protocols will American cities be safer or be put in more danger?   
     Is America better because we buy oil from radical Islamic nations? Or would America be better off building refineries, opening domestic oil fields and growing an industry that provides good jobs with benefits?
     Is America better off purchasing domestic and military goods from China? Or would Americans be safer and more secure with the USA label?
     Are Americans better off with government run health care? Or better paying jobs that would afford each individual the rights of choice?
     Will America’s top corporate businesses stay in the United States when taxes are raised? Or will the top businesses and their employees go offshore like others have?
     Will the United States of America continue to be a sovereign nation?  Or will our borders be given away by internationalists in both parties of government?  
     America does need change and needs it now. Our elected leaders in government have made many mistakes and looks like they will continue in the same direction.  Their choices could mean the end of America as we know it.  If we have learned anything of recent history, we have learned that Washington can not be trusted with policies such as the amnesty fiasco. As voters consider the issues and the possible solutions of each party, we all know that change can also be bad.  Clearly, Washington will need the voters guidance after the election.
      If I could make a change, it would be cutting government because expanding government has been an absolute failure. 




 

    Water boarding Democrat Style                      
    By Mike Moseley

      A great passion surfaces with the debate of water boarding.  Most Democratic leaders say publicly that water boarding is torture and should not be used.  Most Republicans say water boarding is not torture and has been effective in saving lives all over the world.  As with every issue relating to the War on Terror, the Democrats are playing politics with the safety and security of Americans both at home and on the battlefield.  The politicized  list of issues is stunning. The most important issues are Democrats support of the New York Times release of information about the money transfer and the terror surveillance program.  Then there was Democratic Senator Harry Reid’s statement that the war in Iraq “is lost”.  Also, the liberal Democratic leadership working hand in hand with Moveon.org as they attacked  America’s finest general David Petraeus  insulting every man that has worn a uniform.  Rep John Murtha followed this with calling the Haditha Marines “cold blooded killers” on national television.  Since the election, the Democrats have attempted to force the Commander and Chief to bring troops home despite the great success of the military surge.  However, the issue of water boarding  is somewhat different in that  American cities will face a moment in time when a terrorist holds the key to saving millions of lives.
    
    Will Democratic leaders protect American citizens in major cities?   Will they act to save the lives of people in New York, Washington D.C.,  Los Angeles, and Chicago or let the bombs go off?   Clearly,  the Democrats will not water board. They have taken the position assuring America that the terrorists bombs will explode as they fatten the terrorist with food and drink.  Just like on 9-11, all of the Muslim world will celebrate Allah’s great day.  The Democrats will explain to the American population that they did not want to make the terrorists uncomfortable.  When this scenario plays out, the Democrat play book will include blaming President Bush and quite possibly  Vice President Cheney.

      Clearly, a terrorist planning an attack on American soil must to be jumping up and down with excitement and great joy.  Not one of the Democrats have said they will protect America with every tool possible.  Can you imagine the terrorist’s joy when they found out about the wire transfer program, the terror surveillance program, Democratic leadership’s  call for defeat, etc.         

    As John Murtha (D.PA) has stated about our soldiers on the battlefield, “they cracked under the pressure.”  Clearly, the only people that have “cracked under the pressure” are the Democrats Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Dick Durbin, and John Murtha .  The Democratic leadership is as dangerous to the American population as radical Islam is to the world.  Will the terrorists enjoy a time of great victory with a Democratic victory in the next election?  Will the war on terror continue until radical Islam wins?  Or will the American people demand that Democratic leadership protect it’s citizens against an enemy that wants to butcher their children.  War is an ugly thing, and no place for a  politically correct liberal.  If Hillary Clinton or Barak Obama is elected, will either have credibility with the troops?  If the soldiers on the battlefield are killed because information wasn’t extracted by water boarding, what will happen?  If there is a terrorist attack in New York City, will it be because the terrorist wasn’t water boarded?  

    From an underground bunker it’s easy to give terrorists rights.  I would suspect that citizens of New York City have a much different view.

           Democratic energy policies have denied Americans jobs and hurt the economy.
    By Mike Moseley

    It is the Democratic policies that deny the opening of oil fields on American soil and off shore.  Washington’s leftist regulations have stopped energy companies from building refineries.  For decades, special interest groups such as the Sierra Club and Green Peace have lobbied for legislation that denies American companies access to domestic oil fields.  Wikipedia.com list 89 environmental groups.   Special interests and Democratic politicians in the federal government and the state level have achieved a stranglehold over America’s oil resources.  It is common knowledge that maintains ,with more oil in the market our consumers would see the price of oil drop and stabilize.  At this time, the American consumers are at the mercy of OPEC and states such as Venezuela.  The United States economy, and every citizen  is dependant on the most unstable countries in the world and stated enemies.   
       With the removal or correction of leftist policies, American companies would expand in business and hire American workers.  These high quality jobs would provide workers with benefits such as health insurance and a retirement plan,  something that everyone desires. Added to that failure are the Democratic policies and special interest lawsuits, by trial lawyers, that stop companies from building refineries.  The cost of lawsuits are passed on to the consumer as a business expense, raising gas prices. These refineries would add gas to the market and cause the price of gas to be reduced. Again, refineries provide good high paying jobs with benefits for workers.  America’s last refinery was built in Garyville, Louisiana in 1976.  I’m amazed that gas isn’t higher. Another point to consider, is the cost of goods and services that increase with fuel and oil based materials.  America’s natural resources should be used to grow good jobs domestically instead of outsourcing the jobs to the Middle East.    It is interesting that Communist China, working with the Cuban government, is in the process of building an oil field off the Florida coast.
            These investments in American resources would deny terror states U.S. funding via the oil market. The Left has denied voters  the financial stability that American jobs provide while growing an important sector of business.  At this time of economic upheaval, high quality jobs in the energy sector would provide American citizens long term  financial stability that NAFTA has denied since the Clinton administration. Clearly, the Democrats have failed to protect  an American economic sector that needs to expand for quality jobs, voters financial stability and national security.  It is this writers opinion, that ultimately America is better off with high paying long term jobs and energy independence from the Middle East.  America needs to bring jobs home starting with the energy sector.
   





 

    Gifts from the U.S.  Congress to the American People
    By Mike Moseley                                 12-17-07

    The New Democratic led congress is wrapping yet another present for the American citizens. They have used the most beautiful paper they can find, with red ribbons and a bow.  This particular congress has been building extra gifts for the very good boy and girl voters of America.  The congress has had all the elves working overtime, little senators Harry R, Dicky D, Nancy P, and their new congressional helper Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, These elves have removed funding for a border fence and have added 12,000 earmarks for the upcoming years spending.    

Robert Novak states:
"...A little rules chicanery will hide an estimated 12,000 new earmarks, including pork that previously had not been passed by any chamber and is "airdropped" into the bill.
The wily legislators have found a way to get around new ethics rules that require disclosure of all such spending."

    
    I bet you can tell, just like I can, that the congress is going to start the new year off with another round of “gifts” for the American voters.  I just love to guess what the “gifts” will be.  Will it be a train?  I bet not.  Maybe the “gifts” will be more spending.  The “gifts” could include more rights for illegals..  Or laws that stop questioning of illegals.  What could the gift be?  I bet the “gift “ will include more taxes.  How about that crime wave we all wanted, or violent gangs, and drug dealers.  Medical care and welfare for citizens of others countries, paid for by you and me.  I can’t wait for all the presents that are coming with the holiday season.  I know that congress is very busily wrapping gifts for all voters.  I bet that America will not be able to return all the gifts that the elves have wrapped.  I hope all of America rests well at night, knowing that the little elves are taking such good care of us.

    National Intelligent Estimate authored by relics of the past.                    12-10-07
    By Mike Moseley

    Friday’s Rassmussen poll suggests that the recent NIE is not believed to be creditable.  The latest Rasmussen national telephone survey found that 66% disagree and say Iran has not stopped its nuclear weapons program.  Just 18% of those surveyed believe the NIE has any credibility whatsoever.  All of the world knows that Iran is in pursuit of nuclear weapons and has been for some time.   
 
    According to the Wall Street Journal, have "reputations as hyper-partisan anti-Bush officials".    They are Tom Fingar, formerly of the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research; Vann Van Diepen, the National Intelligence Officer for WMD; and Kenneth Brill, the former U.S. Ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). 

    The New York Sun describes Tom Fingar  as a State Department employee who was an expert on China and Germany. Mr Fingar’s bio shows no experience in the middle east or its  geopolitics.

    The New York Sun describes Vann Van Diepen, one of the estimates main authors, as having spent the last five years trying to get America to accept Iran's right to enrich uranium. Mr. Van Diepen no doubt reckons that in helping push the estimate through the system, he has succeeded in influencing the policy debate in Washington. The bureaucrats may even think they are stopping another war.  Van Diepen’s bio shows no experience in Iranian geopolitics.

    The Wall Street Journal writes:   
    Kenneth Brill served as the US Ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency (the IAEA). This is an agency that has served to enable Iranian's quest for nuclear weapons. The head of the IAEA, Mohammed ElBaradei, has even been called a friend by the Iranian regime. As he should be, for he has been an enabler of its nuclear weapons program and has stiff-armed European Union diplomats who have worked to restrain Iran. John Bolton recalls in his recent memoir that then-Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage "described Brill's efforts in Vienna, or lack thereof, as 'bull -- .'" Mr. Brill was "retired" from the State Department by Colin Powell before being rehired, over considerable internal and public protest, as head of the National Counter-Proliferation Center by then-National Intelligence Director John Negroponte.

     Jon Ward of the Washington Times reports:
    Several current and former high-level government officials familiar with the authors of the National Intelligence Estimate on Iran described the report as a politically motivated document written by anti-Bush former State Department officials, who opposed sanctioning foreign governments and businesses.
    The authors' aim is to undercut the White House effort to increase pressure for sanctions on Iran and to argue that Iran dropped its nuclear-weapons program in 2003 because of diplomatic efforts in which the authors had participated, the officials said.

"One has to look at the agendas of the primary movers of this report, to judge how much it can really be banked on," said David Wurmser, a former Middle East adviser to Vice President Dick Cheney, who has worked with the report authors.

    These three former State dept officials are relics from history past.  The past was a time when America negotiated with and supported the enemies of America. These men are relics of President Carter and  President Clinton. As President Carter supported radical Islam and  Clinton supported the communist Chinese military and the North Korean dictator it is these three men that are following the leads of their Presidents.  History reliving itself when Carter depots the Shah of Iran, unleashing radical Islam into the Iranian state and the entire world.    When American hostages were taken, Carter was at the mercy of the people that he unleashed. During his time in office, America both domestically and international, was brought to her knees. The world lost a very moderate and stable Islamic nation. This decision unleashed radical Islam as it stands today.

     Fingar, Van Diepen, and Brill are also the standard from the Clinton’s years in office.  It was the Clinton Administration that was the benchmark  for corruption in government.  The Clinton’s will be remembered for Monica Lewinsky , travelgate, whitewater, IRS gate, FBI files and countless others scandals. The most important scandal  Chinagate. Charlie Trie, Johnny Chung and John Wuang were just a few of the money men between China and Clinton and the DNC. According to the New York Times, Clinton’s administration removed $2 billion in trade with China from the eyes of the National Security Agency. Among the results: 77 supercomputers that were capable of 13 billion calculations per second were received by the communist military state. These computers are capable of scrambling and unscrambling secret data and more importantly design of nuclear weapons. President Clinton signed national security waivers allowing four U.S. commercial satellites to be launched in China, despite evidence that China was exporting nuclear and missile technology to Pakistan and Iran. President Bill Clinton personally approved the transfer to China of advanced space technology that can be used for nuclear combat. In 1996, Clinton approved the export of radiation hardened chip sets to China that are considered critical for atomic warfare and are required by advanced nuclear tipped missiles. This technology has gone from China to North Korea to Pakistan to Iran. President Bill Clinton has literally armed the enemies of America for generations to come.
 
    It is this leftist ideology that brings the United States to today’s most dangerous world.   Reading information  to come to a conclusion and having a political point of view and forming information to fit it is a very dangerous thing. When analytical judgement is used as a cover to produce anti-American policy their can be no winner.  When you consider that the entire state of Israel, Europe, and  America are the targets for a radical nuclear regime you have to conclude that America’s recent NIE report is nothing more than history reliving itself in the form of the “Carter-Clinton derangement syndrome”.  The authors are using the same leftist ideology as presidents Carter and Clinton when they  released radical Islam and armed China, Pakistan, Iran, Syria and North Korea.  All of America should be thankful that not of one these fools will be president.  It is intriguing to watch the allies of the Democratic Party come to life as enemies of America and the world.  It is the Left that has set the stage for a generation of war.

The Democratic party is killing main stream America. 9-15-07

• By Mike Moseley

     The open border Democrats sanctuary city policy and the politically correct government regulations of Washington is killing the American union. The liberal leadership is clearly outside of the bounds of main stream America. Just as they have turned on our soldiers on the battlefield of Iraq, the Democrats have turned on the American working man.

    Numerous political defeats have shown that the Democratic party is clearly outside the main stream of America. With Senators Harry Reid ( D Ne.), Dick Durbin ( D Il.),Hillary Clinton (D.N.Y.)and House speaker Nancy Pelosi ( D Ca) leading the way to defeat in every significant political battle, the left has shown that they are out of touch with American citizens. No finer example of Democratic failure was the recent debate in which Senator Hillary Clinton (D. NY.) espoused two widely differing positions, within minutes of each other, on the immigration debate. First, agreeing with N.Y. Democratic Governor Eliot Spitzer's decision to issue drivers licenses and the rights that go with them, to illegal aliens and then trying to defend a position quite opposite of that. In a recent Opinion Dynamics poll, 91% of Americans find that illegal immigration is a “very” or “somewhat” serious problem for America. Another interesting fact, was that 67% of Americans support protecting the U.S. border with the U.S. Military. This is a significant statement in itself and a clear warning to President Bush and the Democrats. With the two embarrassing defeats of Sen. Dick Durbin's “Dream Act”one can conclude that the Democrats are willing to bring this subject up again if they ever regain power in Washington.

     Historically, the Democratic party has represented the American working man. However, since Democrat President Bill Clinton signed NAFTA into law , the union worker has not been represented well by the Democrat party. It was the Clinton administration that almost regulated the coal mining industry into the history books. With the new open border Democratic policies, union members have been stabbed in the back by a previous trusted friend. I had an interesting conversation with a union carpenter this weekend. “Dave” is a member of the carpenter local in San Francisco. As he describe how his union had been broken by illegals willing to work for less money, he described how every contractor that went to the local Home Depot for supplies would be surrounded by 100-150 illegals aliens looking for work. Union labor has been under attack by Democrats in every major city across America as many are pro immigration or sanctuary cities. These policies do not allow for deportation of criminals, visa violations, or illegal entry. As more Democrat strongholds like New York City, San Fransisco, Los Angeles, and Chicago pass laws to protect illegals, know these same laws separate American workers from their jobs.

     The most recent facts are: (laborpains.org)

     Union membership is down to 7.4% of private sector employees and down to 12 percent overall (government employees are highly unionized, at a rate of 36.2 percent) – that’s down from a high of 20.1 percent in 1983.

    Adding insult to the Union membership is that the oil and gas industry has been regulated from expanding in Alaska, off shore, and in the continental United States. Not only is it political incorrect to drill for oil, it is almost impossible to meet lengthy government regulations to build refineries. This entire industry works hand and hand with union membership. The Democrats have regulated the end of good union jobs in an all important industry that needs to expand for the security of the United States. It is this writers opinion that America would be more secure without funding terror states that use American dollars to buy military weapons and fund terrorists. So as the Democrats regulations have killed union jobs, their sanctuary city policies have replaced the hardworking Union member. The open border Democrats are working with President Bush to allow Mexican truckers into these United States without meeting US safety standards. If the Democrats have their way, clearly the end is near for the teamsters and every AFL-CIO job.

     It is amazing that the Democratic party could maintain any credibility on the domestic front. Rep. Charlie Rangel's (N.Y. D.) upcoming billion dollar tax increases will target America's hardest working individuals, the small businessman. These taxes will end up in the hands of citizens of countries other than America. Rep. Charlie Rangel (NY) House Ways & Means chairman, has announced “the mother of all tax increases” at one trillion dollars that grows to $3.5 trillion in ten years. Easily the largest tax increase in American history. The Democratic majority in government will target the small businessman, for the major increase. However, Rep. Rangel does propose a corporate reduction of 5%. The House Ways and Means committee has been paying close attention to businesses that have been driven off shore along with their profits because of high taxes and regulations. Amazingly, Rep. Rangel knows that tax cuts for businesses work but seem to be confused about higher taxes on the voting public.

Added to these troubling facts is that the Democratic policy of giving illegals welfare, health care, food stamps and housing paid for by the American worker, who is is in many cases, the union member. With Democrat strongholds such as San Francisco passing laws to give illegals American jobs and welfare benefits, the Democratic party has made their choice. When you hear senators Harry Reid (D. NE), Dick Durbin (D.Il.), Hillary Clinton (D.N.Y.), Barak Obama (D. Il.) and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ( D. CA) speak of rights for illegals, sanctuary cities or open borders, know they are twisting the knife deeper in the back of every American working man, union or not. Clearly, the left does not respect or know the depth of American citizenship.
