Our Days Are Numbered

America's days are numbered. Our enemies are apathy and ignorance and we have embraced them.
---William Fortner 2009---

Islam's Ally

Abortion is the ally of Islam. No country in western Europe has enough population growth to
sustain its society. They are all below the recovery rate, dooming European culture and society
to extinction. The US barely makes the maintenance rate, but has to include all Hispanics to do
so. Islam enjoys a birth rate almost four times that needed to sustain its society. All they have to do is wait and procreate to dominate the world.

Health Care

Healthcare reform moving toward euthanasia
Rationing of health services advocated by Emanuel

This headline disturbs me because it is not just "moving", health care is being prodded forcefully into an assault on human life. Already more than half of congress is brain dead, the other part's backbone is softening and the people can't seem to stop the government's intent to eliminate the Social Security and Medicare funding problems by legalizing murder.

ObamaCare

If it comes to pass, Americans must insist that Congress and the Administration be subject to and comply, in the strictest sense, with every detail of ObamaCare to eliminate the need for term limits.

Kirk

Captain Kirk and Obama both demand the same thing, "More Power, Scotty". Kirk used it to escape danger. Obama wants Warp 8 to speed America into socialsim before the electorate catches on.

Sotomayer

Sotomayer had 4 out of 6 of her Appellate Court decisions reversed by the Supreme Court. One reversal is grounds to look elsewhere. I think America deserves a wiser Latina with a life experience of sustained decisions.

The Qualities I Want In A President.

The first thing is courage; face head on the inbred Congress and veto any bill that is not Constitutional and to work to reverse laws that are not. Insist on a declaration of constitutionality defining the particular article for every bill submitted. Veto any bill with riders unrelated to the bill. Make Congress abide by its oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

The second is justice; insist on seeing that those in congress guilty of intentionally trampling the constitution, lying, stealing or committing acts of malfeasance and misfeasance in office are swiftly brought to justice. This includes ANY public servant. For too long have the guilty laughed at the people because they happen to be the majority.

The third is steadfast fierceness and determination in war and the preparation for war; be willing to do what is necessary to defend this country and our allies. Our country is being weakened by defense cuts and a second best defense is not acceptable to the American people. Reducing the production of a fighter proven to be far superior to any and buying a cheaper, less capable aircraft is not in America's best interest, nor is gutting missile defense systems. All military programs are not toys for the generals and admirals. We face a potential enemy that can muster a standing army larger than our entire population. We survive now on technology and the fear of our technology, not manpower.

The fourth is loyalty; be loyal to the people and to our allies and friends. Above all, loyal to our fighting men and women who risk their lives daily to ensure our freedom.

The fifth is honesty; call a terrorist a terrorist and dispense with politically correct pussy-footing around serious religious issues that threaten this country. Say what you mean and mean what you say. If you are wrong, say so. We are not perfect either and Congress hasn't a leg to stand on.

The sixth is diplomacy; act on what a country does and not what it says and treat them accordingly, no exceptions Now, we spit in the faces of our friends and kiss the feet of our enemies.

The seventh is character; maintain a moral integrity that is above reproach and unshakable. Too many in congress are morally bankrupt and many more are becoming overdrawn. Answer challenges to your integrity swiftly and decisively.

The eighth is transparency in actions; keep the people informed. Get into the face of the media when they misrepresent, invent or out right lie to the public. Let nothing slide. A free press is guaranteed by the Bill of Rights, but, along with that, comes a responsibility to be accurate and unbiased, especially the broadcast media that uses public airwaves. They must be held accountable. Newspapers lie and die on their own.

The ninth is a willingness to exploit America's vast natural resources; tap the Bakken and other potential energy reserves in the near term. Support realistic and safer energy alternatives like water to hydrogen conversion on the fly instead of a massive infrastructure to dispense hydrogen just so it can be metered and taxed making every automobile a rolling bomb needlessly. Solar and wind cannot meet more than a tiny fraction of America's energy need. Demand alternatives compete on their own without government subsidies. Nuclear power is a proven alternative.

The tenth is selectivity; select only those qualified morally and by experience for positions in the administration. Being a tax cheat, a convicted criminal, a person of scandalous reputation or a Marxist disqualifies anyone for a high position in government.

The eleventh is to reduce government: eliminate useless government bureaucracies. How many gallons of oil has the Energy Department produced since its inception? How far has the education level in this country dropped since the Department of Education was created? How well has the Housing Department done? Has the Welfare Department lifted people from poverty or has it kept them there? There are many more such instances of government meddling and ensuing disaster.

The eleventh is term limits; push for an amendment to the Twenty-second Amendment to the Constitution to include both the House and Senate as well as the President. Too much power has been accumulated by many and they have misused it, actually, misuse is rampant. Two terms in the House and two terms in the Senate will eliminate this. Congressional pay and benefits should be decided by the people as part of the national elections, not by those that benefit from it.

The twelfth is to communicate; use your bully pulpit to enlighten the electorate. An enlightened electorate will deal with pernicious congressional problems over time. Face time is important and don't permit any talking head to explain what you say.

The thirteenth is patriotism; love this country like no other and support its founding tenets of personal freedom, personal responsibility and free enterprise unfettered by over regulation. Never apologize for America. Had it not been for America, the world would be an uglier place. We use more because we produce more.

The fourteenth is demand accountability; demand that all government agencies account for tax dollars. Right now, some cannot account for 20% or more of what they were allotted year by year. Insist on a balanced budget without destroying the Department of Defense. The question of guns or butter is moot. Without guns there will be no butter and the worst case scenario is government by a foreign entity not of our choosing.

The fifteenth is to fight globalism; globalism is just another form of fascism, only on a grander scale. We are Americans, we like being Americans and the thought of being a cog in some master wheel governed by some nebulous bureaucracy even more remote than our present government is repulsive. Invite the UN to move to another country and break association with it. That once proud organization has become a den of thieves and a powerless drain on this country. Its only actions seem to be denouncing Israel and issuing useless resolutions and warnings that are universally ignored by terrorist states.

Supreme Court Justice

A Supreme Court Justice needs but three things to serve the people of the United States. Those are a thorough knowledge of the United States Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the Federalist Papers to understand the intent of the founders and the rights of the people. Life experience or personal bias has no place in a Supreme Court decision and, when it does, it renders injustice instead of justice.
---William Fortner 2009---

Meddling Government

The only things the government has proven capable of doing with any adroitness and expertise is the cunning with which it enlarges itself, robs the taxpayer and meddles in the affairs of the people.

Working Stimulus

Mr. Obama says his stimulus is working. In what country would it be working? It is certainly not this one.

Watch Your Six

Veterans, Christians, anti abortionists, NRA members and other law abiding citizens are considered possible terrorists by this administration. To the Republican members of congress I say, "Watch your six." You could be next.

Still Stuck In My Craw

July 9, 2009

Dear Senator XXXXXX,

Regarding your March 18th response to my letter to you, I have thought long and hard about this matter and I am grieved that a man of your stature and character could believe the contents of your letter.

The scanned image of a birth certificate offered up by Mr. Obama is not the official long form birth certificate from the State of Hawaii. I know. My daughter was born in Hawaii in 1961 and I know what they look like. What was offered was a form issued by the State of Hawaii to register a birth from anywhere during a several year period that covered the time of Mr. Obama’s birth and does not verify US birth. That, I believe is what Ms. Fukimo verified and rightly so. It is a valid document; however, that form is not a Certificate of Live Birth and is not good enough to get a US passport or even a driver’s license in the State of Hawaii I am told. This is troublesome to me. As far as I can see, Mr. Obama has yet to meet the requirements of the United States Constitution.

I am told that there is no requirement for anyone to produce a valid birth certificate to anyone to prove eligibility. I think that is in error. The very statement in the Constitution IS the requirement to prove, with certainty, the eligibility for office. Mr. Obama has not done this. Even being chosen by the Electoral College does not relieve him of the requirement to prove his citizenship or grant legitimacy to his selection.

If Mr. Obama has no requirement to present proof to electors or to party heads then he is, I believe, still subject to the people under articles 9 and 10 of the Bill of rights which state:

Amendment IX
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

Amendment X
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.



Senator XXXXX, I am one of the people and I have a right to know, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that the person leading this country is constitutionally qualified to do so. So far, that proof has not been forthcoming. To even infer that the people of this country do not have the right to know with certainty the national status of ANY office holder is ludicrous and a slap in the face to those who wrote the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. For a presidential candidate to refuse to provide conclusive proof and not be formally called on it is incredulous.

I think a serious mistake has been made and I think Congress does not have the intestinal fortitude to correct it. That shakes my faith in the present Congress. I am aware of the grave national and international ramifications of removing a sitting President, particularly this one, but I think this administration is built on a lie and that should not be so. The fact that Mr. Obama refuses to produce a valid birth certificate further taints his qualification in the eyes of the people. Is it so difficult to produce the required document? Since it apparently is I am left to wonder what it might reveal. I should not have to wonder. I think it is your job to make sure that I don’t have to.

In closing, Senator, I ask that you take whatever action is necessary to establish Mr. Obama’s true qualifications for office. If I am wrong in my reasoning, please show me where. I am not asking this because of any racial or political agenda or bias. I am asking it because it is just and it is the right of the people to know. I am neither a revolutionary nor a rabble rouser. I am just one of the people, one of your people, who believe this country rises or falls on its respect for the rule of law.

Sincerely,

William Fortner

Secret Service

When Obama gives up his Secret Service protection to show his commitment to peace then I will believe he is sincere and not just trying to strip America of its defense against those who want US dead.

Bay of Fundy

Climate change, or whatever they are calling it now, will NOT destroy the world, but Al Gore and Cap and Trade will destroy America. When Al Gore can control the tide and chains himself to a chair at the low water mark in the Bay of Fundy for 6 hours to prove it, then I will think he can control the weather.

Shovel Ready

The reason the administration's much touted "shovel ready" jobs have not turned up yet is because "Obama Care" is not in effect.

Kool-Aid

The great need for speed by Obama to bring America to its knees legislatively, economically and spiritually is the fear that too many of his cult members may realize the Kool-Aid is poisoned.
