What if Bush did it...would you approve?

If George W. Bush had doubled the national debt, which had taken more




than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you have approved?



If George W. Bush had then proposed to double the debt again within 10

years, would you have approved?



If George W. Bush had criticized a state law that he admitted he never

even read, would you think that he is just an ignorant hot head?



If George W. Bush joined the country of Mexico and sued a state in the

United States to force that state to continue to allow illegal

immigration, would you question his patriotism and wonder who's side he

was on?



If George W. Bush had put 87,000 workers out of work by arbitrarily

placing a moratorium on offshore oil drilling on companies that have

one of the best safety records of any

industry because one company had an accident would you have agreed?



If George W. Bush had used a forged document as the basis of the

moratorium that would render 87000 American workers unemployed would

you support him?



If George W. Bush had been the first President to need a TelePrompTer

installed to be able to get through a press conference, would you have

laughed and said this is more proof of how inept he is on his own and

is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes?



If George W. Bush had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to take

Laura Bush to a play in NYC, would you have approved?



If George W. Bush had reduced your retirement plan's holdings of GM

stock by 90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM, would you

have approved?



If George W. Bush had made a joke at the expense of the Special

Olympics, would you have approved?



If George W. Bush had given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive and

incorrectly formatted DVD's, when Gordon Brown had given him a

thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved?



If George W. Bush had given the Queen of England an iPod containing

videos of his speeches, would you have thought this embarrassingly

narcissistic and tacky?



If George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia , would you

have approved?



If George W. Bush had visited Austria and made reference to the

nonexistent "Austrian language," would you have brushed it off as a

minor slip?



If George W. Bush had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with

people who cannot seem to keep current in their income taxes, would you

have approved?



If George W. Bush had stated that there were 57 states in the United

States, would you have said that he is clueless.



If George W. Bush would have flown all the way to Denmark to make a

five minute speech about how the Olympics would benefit him walking out

his front door in Texas, would you have thought he was a self

important, conceited, egotistical jerk.



If George W. Bush had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to "Cinco

de Cuatro" in front of the Mexican ambassador when it was the 5th of

May (Cinco de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he tried again,

would you have winced in embarrassment?



If George W. Bush had misspelled the word "advice", would you have

hammered him for it for years like Dan Quayle and potatoes as proof of

what a dunce he is?



If George W. Bush had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a

single tree on Earth Day, would you have concluded he's a hypocrite?



If George W. Bush's administration had okayed Air Force One flying low

over millions of people followed by a jet fighter in

downtown Manhattan causing widespread panic, would you have wondered

whether they actually get what happened on 9-11?



If George W. Bush had failed to send relief aid to flood victims

throughout the Midwest with more people killed or made homeless than in

New Orleans, would you want it made into

a major ongoing political issue with claims of racism and incompetence?



If George W. Bush had created the position of 32 Czars who report

directly to him, bypassing the House and Senate on much

of what is happening in America, would you have approved.



If George W. Bush had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major

corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so,

would you have approved?



So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant

and impressive? Can't think of anything? Don't worry. He's done all

this in 20 months -- so you'll have two years and four months to come

up with an answer.





Every statement

in this email is factual and directly attributable to Barrack Hussein

Obama.



Every bumble is a matter of record and completely verifiable.

WHY is the RNC helping fire PELOSI and not REID?

The message below and the "Fire Pelosi" van touring the country proves my point.
Hi Everyone,



I hope you had a fantastic three day weekend!



We only have 21 more days to Fire Pelosi, so the RNC Phone Bank Team is rolling out several sweet incentives that I hope will get you pumped to come make calls at the RNC. The RNC Phone Banks will be open from 9 am to Midnight, 7 days a week beginning Wednesday. Any time you want to come make calls, let me know and myself, Ben or one of our Assistant Phone Bank Managers (Jordan and Ginnie) will be down on floor B2 at the RNC. This week the RNC will be making calls into Indiana CD 09, IN-02 and Georgia 02, in addition to making calls for other candidates who have scheduled phone banks with the RNC, including Sean Duffy who is running in Wisconsin 07. Please let me know what days, times or states you are interested in making calls for and I give you a more complete schedule of phone banks.





LUNCH WITH THE RNC LEADERSHIP TEAM



Starting Wednesday the volunteer who makes the most calls each week (from Wednesday-Tuesday for the next three weeks) will have the distinct privilege to have lunch with someone from the RNC leadership team. If you are looking for a job in politics, come January these lunches will be key resources. For every new person you bring in who has not phone banked at the RNC in September or October, you will receive an extra 100 calls toward your call total for that week.





RESUME BANK

Along the same lines, many of the candidates you are Getting Out The Vote for will be seeking staffers to fill their Hill offices after November. So please send me your resume to keep on file if you’re interested in working on the Hill next year.



RNC LUNCHES

It’s recess, so I know you all are taking long lunches. Why not spend them at the RNC? Come make 100 calls and we’ll provide the food!



PIZZA? NO THANKS!

Speaking of food, are you tired of pizza? I know I am. I’m changing up the food options, and we’ll now be serving Subway, Taco Bell, McDonalds and food from other restaurant chains besides Papa Johns. I hope you’re as excited as I am about this!



DCYRS SHOUT OUT!

Thanks to everyone who came to Ohio this weekend to volunteer at the Brecksville and Fairfield Victory Offices with the DC Young Republicans (DCYRs) we made 10,000 voter contacts between door knocking and phone banking on this four day trip. I really enjoyed getting to know everyone who I traveled with, and I hope you’ll come make calls at the RNC headquarters sometime this week.



As always, please RSVP the days and now times you plan to phone bank so I can correctly estimate how much food to provide. Please forward this to as many of your DC Republican friends as possible.



All the Best,



Francesca Chambers

What the popes say on socialism

Written by Gustavo Solimeo Wednesday, 24 February 2010 15:13
Anyone who examines the ideology of socialism will see the contrast between the socialist doctrine and the doctrine of the Church.
All the same, it is not out of place to review the condemnation of the popes starting with Pius IX and ending with Benedict XVI. Thus, we present what the popes have to say about socialism as they condemn the socialist doctrine thoroughly and entirely. This is not a comprehensive compilation, but just some samples.


PIUS IX (1846-1878):“Overthrow [of] the entire order of human affairs”“You are aware indeed, that the goal of this most iniquitous plot is to drive people to overthrow the entire order of human affairs and to draw them over to the wicked theories of this Socialism and Communism, by confusing them with perverted teachings.” (Encyclical Nostis et Nobiscum, December 8, 1849) LEO XIII (1878-1903):Hideous monster“...communism, socialism, nihilism, hideous deformities of the civil society of men and almost its ruin.” (Encyclical Diuturnum, June 29, 1881)
Ruin of all institutions“... For, the fear of God and reverence for divine laws being taken away, the authority of rulers despised, sedition permitted and approved, and the popular passions urged on to lawlessness, with no restraint save that of punishment, a change and overthrow of all things will necessarily follow. Yea, this change and overthrow is deliberately planned and put forward by many associations of communists and socialists” (Encyclical Humanum Genus, April 20, 1884, n. 27).
A sect “that threatens civil society with destruction”
Leo XIII (1877-1903): Socialists assail the right of property sanctioned by natural law.“…We speak of that sect of men who, under various and almost barbarous names, are called socialists, communists, or nihilists, and who, spread over all the world, and bound together by the closest ties in a wicked confederacy, no longer seek the shelter of secret meetings, but, openly and boldly marching forth in the light of day, strive to bring to a head what they have long been planning - the overthrow of all civil society whatsoever. Surely, these are they who, as the sacred Scriptures testify, ‘Defile the flesh, despise dominion and blaspheme majesty.’ (Jud. 8).” (Encyclical Quod Apostolici Muneris, December 28, 1878, n. 1)
Socialists debase the natural union of man and woman and assail the right of property“They [socialists, communists, or nihilists] debase the natural union of man and woman, which is held sacred even among barbarous peoples; and its bond, by which the family is chiefly held together, they weaken, or even deliver up to lust. Lured, in fine, by the greed of present goods, which is ‘the root of all evils, which some coveting have erred from the faith’ (1 Tim. 6:10.3), they assail the right of property sanctioned by natural law; and by a scheme of horrible wickedness, while they seem desirous of caring for the needs and satisfying the desires of all men, they strive to seize and hold in common whatever has been acquired either by title of lawful inheritance, or by labor of brain and hands, or by thrift in one's mode of life.” (Encyclical Quod Apostolici Muneris, December 28, 1878, n. 1)
Destructive sect“...socialists and members of other seditious societies, who labor unceasingly to destroy the State even to its foundations.” (Encyclical Libertas Praestantissimum, June 20, 1888)
Enemy of society and of Religion“...there is need for a union of brave minds with all the resources they can command. The harvest of misery is before our eyes, and the dreadful projects of the most disastrous national upheavals are threatening us from the growing power of the socialistic movement. They have insidiously worked their way into the very heart of the community, and in the darkness of their secret gatherings, and in the open light of day, in their writings and their harangues, they are urging the masses onward to sedition; they fling aside religious discipline; they scorn duties; they clamor only for rights; they are working incessantly on the multitudes of the needy which daily grow greater, and which, because of their poverty are easily deluded and led into error. It is equally the concern of the State and of religion, and all good men
Saint Pius X (1903-1914) should deem it a sacred duty to preserve and guard both in the honor which is their due.” (Encyclical Graves de Communi Re, January 18, 1901, n. 21)
SAINT PIUS X (1903-1914):The dream of re-shaping society will bring socialism“But stranger still, alarming and saddening at the same time, are the audacity and frivolity of men who call themselves Catholics and dream of re-shaping society under such conditions, and of establishing on earth, over and beyond the pale of the Catholic Church, ‘the reign of love and justice’ ... What are they going to produce? ... A mere verbal and chimerical construction in which we shall see, glowing in a jumble, and in seductive confusion, the words Liberty, Justice, Fraternity, Love, Equality, and human exultation, all resting upon an ill-understood human dignity. It will be a tumultuous agitation, sterile for the end proposed, but which will benefit the less Utopian exploiters of the people. Yes, we can truly say that the Sillon, its eyes fixed on a chimera, brings Socialism in its train.” (Apostolic Letter Notre Charge Apostolique ["Our Apostolic Mandate"] to the French Bishops, August 15, 1910, condemning the movement Le Sillon)

Benedict XVBENEDICT XV (1914-1922):The condemnation of socialism should never be forgotten“It is not our intention here to repeat the arguments which clearly expose the errors of Socialism and of similar doctrines. Our predecessor, Leo XIII, most wisely did so in truly memorable Encyclicals; and you, Venerable Brethren, will take the greatest care that those grave precepts are never forgotten, but that whenever circumstances call for it, they should be clearly expounded and inculcated in Catholic associations and congresses, in sermons and in the Catholic press.” (Encyclical Ad Beatissimi Apostolorum, November 1, 1914, n. 13)
PIUS XI (1922-1939): Pius XI (1922-1939): "No one can be at the same time a good Catholic and a true socialist."Socialism, fundamentally contrary to Christian truth“... For Socialism, which could then be termed almost a single system and which maintained definite teachings reduced into one body of doctrine, has since then split chiefly into two sections, often opposing each other and even bitterly hostile, without either one however abandoning a position fundamentally contrary to Christian truth that was characteristic of Socialism.” (Encyclical Quadragesimo Anno, May 15, 1931, n. 111) Socialism cannot be reconciled with Catholic Doctrine“But what if Socialism has really been so tempered and modified as to the class struggle and private ownership that there is in it no longer anything to be censured on these points? Has it thereby renounced its contradictory nature to the Christian religion? This is the question that holds many minds in suspense. And numerous are the Catholics who, although they clearly understand that Christian principles can never be abandoned or diminished seem to turn their eyes to the Holy See and earnestly beseech Us to decide whether this form of Socialism has so far recovered from false doctrines that it can be accepted without the sacrifice of any Christian principle and in a certain sense be baptized. That We, in keeping with Our fatherly solicitude, may answer their petitions, We make this pronouncement: Whether considered as a doctrine, or an historical fact, or a movement, Socialism, if it remains truly Socialism, even after it has yielded to truth and justice on the points which we have mentioned, cannot be reconciled with the teachings of the Catholic Church because its concept of society itself is utterly foreign to Christian truth.” (Ibid. n. 117)
Catholic Socialism, a contradiction“[Socialism] is based nevertheless on a theory of human society peculiar to itself and irreconcilable with true Christianity. Religious socialism, Christian socialism, are contradictory terms; no one can be at the same time a good Catholic and a true socialist.” (Ibid. n. 120)
Pius XIIPIUS XII (1939-1958):The Church will fight to the end, in defense of supreme values threatened by socialism “[The Church undertook] the protection of the individual and the family against a current threatening to bring about a total socialization which in the end would make the specter of the 'Leviathan' become a shocking reality. The Church will fight this battle to the end, for it is a question of supreme values: the dignity of man and the salvation of souls." (“Radio message to the Katholikentag of Vienna,” September 14, 1952 in Discorsi e Radiomessaggi, vol. XIV, p. 314)
The state can not be regarded as being above all"To consider the State as something ultimate to which everything else should be subordinated and directed, cannot fail to harm the true and lasting prosperity of nations." (Encyclical Summi Pontificatus, October 20, 1939, n. 60)
John XXIIIJOHN XXIII (1958-1963):“No Catholic could subscribe even to moderate socialism”“Pope Pius XI further emphasized the fundamental opposition between Communism and Christianity, and made it clear that no Catholic could subscribe even to moderate Socialism. The reason is that Socialism is founded on a doctrine of human society which is bounded by time and takes no account of any objective other than that of material well-being. Since, therefore, it proposes a form of social organization which aims solely at production, it places too severe a restraint on human liberty, at the same time flouting the true notion of social authority.” (Encyclical Mater et Magistra, May 15, 1961, n. 34) Paul VI
PAUL VI (1963-1978):Too often Christians tend to idealize socialism“Too often Christians attracted by socialism tend to idealize it in terms which, apart from anything else, are very general: a will for justice, solidarity and equality. They refuse to recognize the limitations of the historical socialist movements, which remain conditioned by the ideologies from which they originated.” (Apostolic Letter Octogesima Adveniens, May 14, 1971, n. 31)
John Paul II (1978-2005)JOHN PAUL II (1978-2005):Socialism: Danger of a “simple and radical solution”“It may seem surprising that ‘socialism’ appeared at the beginning of the Pope's critique of solutions to the ‘question of the working class’ at a time when ‘socialism’ was not yet in the form of a strong and powerful State, with all the resources which that implies, as was later to happen. However, he correctly judged the danger posed to the masses by the attractive presentation of this simple and radical solution to the ‘question of the working class.’" (Encyclical Centesimus Annus − On the 100th anniversary of Pope Leo XIII's Rerum Novarum, May 1, 1991, n. 12)
Fundamental error of socialism: A mistaken conception of the person“Continuing our reflections, ... we have to add that the fundamental error of socialism is anthropological in nature. Socialism considers the individual person simply as an element, a molecule within the social organism, so that the good of the individual is completely subordinated to the functioning of the socio-economic mechanism. Socialism likewise maintains that the good of the individual can be realized without reference to his free choice, to the unique and exclusive responsibility which he exercises in the face of good or evil. Man is thus reduced to a series of social relationships, and the concept of the person as the autonomous subject of moral decision disappears, the very subject whose decisions build the social order. From this mistaken conception of the person there arise both a distortion of law, which defines the sphere of the exercise of freedom, and an opposition to private property.” (Ibid, n. 13) BENEDICT XVI (2005 - present):“We do not need a State which regulates and controls everything”
Benedict XVI“The State which would provide everything, absorbing everything into itself, would ultimately become a mere bureaucracy incapable of guaranteeing the very thing which the suffering person − every person − needs: namely, loving personal concern. We do not need a State which regulates and controls everything, but a State which, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity, generously acknowledges and supports initiatives arising from the different social forces and combines spontaneity with closeness to those in need. … In the end, the claim that just social structures would make works of charity superfluous masks a materialist conception of man: the mistaken notion that man can live ‘by bread alone’ (Mt 4:4; cf. Dt 8:3) − a conviction that demeans man and ultimately disregards all that is specifically human.” (Encyclical Deus Caritas Est, December 25, 2005, n. 28)

Don Williams Reid's original campaign manager speaks out

http://yourpoliticsnews.com/2010/08/18/exclusive-pimp-paid-for-first-harry-reid-campaign-former-manager-says-takes-lie-detector-to-prove-claims/

A letter of thanks to the Youth:

An open letter to the youth of America regarding the 2008 Presidential election: To the youth of America, Thank you for turning out to vote in your first Presidential Election. I am sure that many of you have never followed or been interested in politics before and chose this occasion to be your first experience. You probably voted against your parents thinking that your youth made you more aware of the new global environment than their years of experience in life. Thank you for protecting the illegal combatants who are detained in Guantanamo Bay. Ensuring their Constitutional Rights IS more important than your right to live. Even though they waged a war against innocent unsuspecting civilians in the United States, they themselves have been mistreated. The inhumane torture that they were subjected to of being gently suspended on a blanket while having small amounts of water poured on their heads is far worse than crashing planes in to buildings in urban highly populated areas. Thank you for giving Congress a Democratic Majority. Now they are free to pass legislation increasing the National Deficit by far more than it has ever been after they campaigned on a balanced budget and reducing the deficit. Nancy Pelosi is now free from any charges of purgery from only being informed about CIA interrogation practices rather than being briefed on them. Now we can move forward with prosecuting the former administration for keeping the Country safe from Man Caused Destruction by means of the Over-seas Contingency Operation. It is more important that Bush lied about the foreign intelligence that we received to get us involved for a war for oil than the Democrats telling any partial untruths about Our military harassing and murdering innocent civilians. Thank you for helping keep our borders open. For too long illegal immigrants have tried to dangerously cross our boarders and exist in our country without following the legal path to citizenship. Now all of those people can live without fear of being sent back to their country of origin and receive government assistance in the form of healthcare, childhood education, and food stamps to which they do not contribute. Thank you for helping to reduce Carbon Dioxide levels. We should not be responsible for providing a resource to plants for their existence. The earth has never regulated itself in the past from occurrences like volcanic explosions until government came along to test the air quality. Maybe now we can find a way to tax the production of oxygen from the carbon offset farms. Thank you for expanding healthcare. Now non-citizens have expanded healthcare coverage available to them at no cost. I suppose in this ever shrinking job market you all have already found steady employment to pay for the services that they are receiving. Businesses like hospitals should not be in the practice of making enough money to cover both their operating expenses and payroll when we have big government to decide who will receive healthcare, when, and to what extent. Maybe now that all of the world’s problems have been resolved we can focus on education. It is clear that in this country that we need reform. We not only need to be more competitive in the areas of math and science with the rest of the world, but it is now clear that we need reform in American History class as well. It is apparent with sites such as http://www.moveon.org, http://www.codepink4peace.org, and http://www.communalprosperity.net that radical liberalism has moved mainstream. Politicians such as Janet Napolitano have redefined radicals as people who believe in the Constitution and religion. No longer are people in the radical movement confined to the outskirts of society like they were in the 1960s. We now can be wary of our veterans and people who want limited Federal Government intervention. Thank you for believing in Change, Jason Sanborn>From the soon to be former State of Texas
