This is What Makes America Great

In spite of all the blather coming forth from capital hill, this story once again proves the greatness of America. When the American people are FREE to live their lives and make their own decisions, we have proven time and again the USA is an altruistic nation. Although the current crop of political hacks continually speak down our nation and our economy, there are still hope for change. America is still great because her people are great.

Standard economic theory states that people are interested only in their own material gain. But new insights from behavioral economics show that altruism rather than avarice is our primary motivation.
The City of Yonkers, New York, wound up in a distressing predicament early this year. The municipal budget was running a deficit and the economic crisis was sorely aggravating the problem. Layoffs were needed and among the casualties were six firefighters, including, most regrettably, a young man who’d recently rescued several children from a burning apartment building. The job cuts were due to go into effect the first week of January.
But then something remarkable happened. The men and women of the Yonkers Fire Department offered to work days free for six months so the city could save money and their colleagues could save their jobs. The deal was approved by 75 percent of firefighters and the layoffs were avoided.
“We banded together and voted to save our brethren.”

The Ten Commandments Obama Style

I. Thou shalt have no God in America, except for me. For we are no longer a Christian nation and, after all, I am the chosen One. (And like God, I do not have a birth certificate.) SOURCE

II. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, unless it is my face carved on Mt. Rushmore. SOURCE

III. Thou shalt not utter my middle name in vain (or in public). Only I can say Barack Hussein Obama. SOURCE

IV. Remember tax day, April 15th, to keep it holy. SOURCE

V. Honour thy father and thy mother until they are too old and sick to care for. They will cost our public-funded health-care system too much money. SOURCE

VI. Thou shalt not kill, unless you have an unwanted, unborn baby. For it would be an abomination to punish your daughter with a baby. SOURCE

VII. Thou shalt not commit adultery if you are conservative or a Republican. Liberals and Democrats are hereby forgiven for all of their infidelity and immorality, but the careers of conservatives will be forever destroyed. SOURCE

VIII. Thou shalt not steal, until you’ve been elected to public office. Only then is it acceptable to take money from hard-working, successful citizens and give it to those who do not work, illegal immigrants, or those who do not have the motivation to better their own lives. SOURCE

IX. Thou shalt not discriminate against thy neighbor unless they are conservative, Caucasian, or Christian. SOURCE

X. Thou shalt not covet because it is simply unnecessary. I will place such a heavy tax burden on those that have achieved the American Dream that, by the end of my term as President, nobody will have any wealth or material goods left for you to covet. SOURCE

Global Cooling Trend Continues-CO2 Levels Unchanged

Filed under: Current Events, Eagle Views by Allen Scott — Leave a comment
July 13, 2009
Even without CAP AND TRADE planet earth seems to be on a cooling trend. Since 1998 the temperatures on planet earth have been cooling. Even the ECO Terrorists had to change their terminology from GLOBAL warming to climate change. Now then I ask any thinking person to pause for just a moment and ask this one simple question. If the planet has been cooling for the last 10 years while carbon dioxide emissions have not been reduced by any significant amount, is it therefore reasonable to conclude that CO2 has absolutely nothing to do with GLOBAL WARMING? In fact the biggest contributing factor to global warming is, you guessed it, THE SUN!

    Does GM Bailout Come with a Company Car?

    Filed under: Current Events, Eagle Views by Allen Scott — Leave a comment

    As a major shareholder in the newly formed Government Motors I demand to know when I can pick up my company car. Could someone tell me which of the dealerships still in business are taking requests for company cars? Now that I am the majority stock holder in the company I would like to have as one of my perks a nice new company car and not one of them HYBRIDS either. I want one of those big old gas guzzlers that the President drives. If Ms Pelosi can fly around in a company jet, and the President can drive around in his fleet of SUV‘s then AS A MAJOR SHAREHOLDER IN GOVERNMENT motors SO CAN I.

    Please make delivery of my new company car to the address you have on file in my Share HOLDERS portfolio. THANK YOU.

    The biggest bankruptcy in US history was also the fastest bankruptcy in US history. Isn’t it amazing how fast the government can move when they are motivated by a historic confiscation of private sector power and wealth?
    As of this morning, American taxpayers are now the majority shareholder in the newly created Government Motors, which will build the Chevrolet, Cadillac, GMC and Buick brands looking forward.
    American taxpayers paid over $50 billion for 60.8% of GM. That money was used to save 66,000 American jobs. That comes to $757,575.76 per job saved. A little pricy if you ask me, but we are talking about union jobs here.
    By comparison, less than 1% of the Obama-Pelosi “stimulus” package was directed at stimulating small businesses, which account for 98% of all jobs in America. But when it came time to save union jobs, Obama-Pelosi opened up the taxpayer pocketbook and coughed up a very generous $757,575.76 for each of 66,000 GM jobs saved.

    Government Program Aimed at Teen Pregnacy Fails

    Filed under: Eagle Views by Allen Scott — Leave a comment

    Once again the enlightened and educated amongst us prove COMMON SENSE has died. These government programs in England and in New York are destined to fail because of the very foundation they are attempting to build upon. Instead of teaching these AT RISK young ladies about self-esteem, and the virtues of a chaste lifestyle, they reason that since these girls are going to have sex anyway we might as well teach them about sex. And like every other government mandated program IT FAILED! Not only did it fail it FAILED miserably.The truth is it made the matter worse than if they would have left the girls alone.

    Sound familiar?

    A multi-million pound initiative to reduce teenage pregnancies more than doubled the number of girls conceiving.
    The Government-backed scheme tried to persuade teenage girls not to get pregnant by handing out condoms and teaching them about sex.
    But research funded by the Department of Health shows that young women who attended the programme, at a cost of £2,500 each, were ‘significantly’ more likely to become pregnant than those on other youth programmes who were not given contraception and sex advice.
    A total of 16 per cent of those on the Young People’s Development Programme conceived compared with just 6 per cent in other programmes.
    The failed YPDP, launched in 2004, was based on a similar scheme in claimed to have significantly reduced teenage pregnancies.
    However, attempts to replicate the work elsewhere in the U.S. did not lead to a fall in teenage pregnancies, casting doubt on the project as a whole.
