How many of you remember GIVE EM HELL HARRY?
When President Truman retired from office in 1952, his income was substantially a U.S. Army pension reported to have been $13,507.72 a year. Congress, noting that he was paying for his stamps and personally licking them, granted him an "allowance" and, later, a retroactive pensionof $25,000 per year.
When offered corporate positions at large salaries, he declined, stating,"You don't want me. You want the office of the president, and that doesn't belong to me. It belongs to the American people and it's not for sale." Even later, on May 6, 1971, when Congress was preparing to award him the Medal of Honor on his 87th birthday, he refused to accept it, writing,"I don't consider that I have done anything which should be the reason for any award, Congressional or otherwise."
We now see that the Clintons have found a new level of success in cashing in on the presidency, resulting in untold wealth. Today, many in Congress also have found a way to become quite wealthy while enjoying the fruits of their offices. Political offices are now for sale.
Was good old Harry Truman correct when he observed, "My choice early in life was either to be a piano player in a whorehouse or a politician. And to tell the truth, there's hardly any difference."

Barak Hussein Muhammed Obama
(WEBSITE of home page for author of the following letter:http://www.lorendavis.com/index.html )
Celeste and Loren Davis are Missionaries in Africa and can shed some light on one of our Presidential candidates.
"Thanks for sending out an alert about Obama. We are living and working in Kenya for almost twelve years now and know his family (tribe) well. They are the ones who were behind the recent Presidential election chaos here. Thousands of people have been displaced by election violence(over 350,000) and I don't know the last count of the dead. Obama under "friends of Obama" gave almost a million dollars to the opposition campaign who just happened to be his cousin, Raila Odinga, who is a socialist trained in East Germany . He has been trying to bring Kenya down for years and the last president threw him in prison for trying to subvert this country! December 27th elections brought cries from ODM (Odinga Camp) of rigged election. Obama and Raila speak daily. As we watch Obama rise in the US we are sure that whatever happens, he will use the same tactic, cyring rigged election if he doesn't win and possibly cause a race war in America ."
"What we would like you to know is what the American press has been keeping a dirty little secret. Obama IS a muslim and he IS a racist and this is a fullfilllment of the 911 threat that was just the beginning. Jihad is the only true muslim way. We have been working with them for 20 years this July! He is not an American as we know it. Please encourage your friends and associates not to be taken in by those that are promoting him. It is world wide jihad. All our friends in Europe are very disturbed by the muslim infiltration into their countries. By the way, his true name is Barak Hussein Muhammed Obama. Won't that sound sweet to our enemies as they swear him in on the Koran! God Bless you."Pray for us here in Kenya . We are still fighting for our nation to withstand the same kind of assult that every nation, including America , is fighting. Takeover from the outside to fit the new world order. As believers, this means we will be the first targets. Here in Kenya , not one mosque was burned down, but hundreds of churches were burned down, some with people in them, burned alive.
"Jesus Christ is our peace but the new world order of Globalism has infiltrated the church and confused believers into thinking that they can compromise and survive. It won't be so. I will send you a newsletter we sent out in February documenting in a more cohesive manner what I've tried to say in a few paragraphs.
Love, Celeste"

Congress Of Cowards
How long America, will you continue to permit yourselves to be governed by an inferior tribe of traitors, a senate of sycophants, a congress of cowards, whose hunger and thirst for personal power, position and perqs transcends the needs of the nation? --- William Fortner 2006 ---
Epitome Of Confusion
The epitome of confusion is a Democrat between between opinion polls without a windsock. --- William Fortner 2005 ---
Concept Defining Words
Three concept defining words patriotic Americans should fear most are global, multinational and multicultural. --- William Fortner 2006 ---

Earmarks and Confiscatory Taxes
Earmarks funded by confiscatory taxes are proof that what is legal and what is right often have nothing in common, much like law and justice.--- William Fortner 2008 ---
Victory In Iraq
The simple fact is that victory in Iraq does not depend on more firepower. It depends more on willpower, a truthful media and a patriotic congress. ---William Fortner 2007 ---

Cockroaches
The cockroaches have already taken over the world and are just keeping the House and Senate around for amusement.--- William Fortner 2007 ---
Climate Change
The real cause of "global warming" hysteria is falling market share in the broadcast media and plummeting subscription and reader sales in newspapers. Even cavemen dealt successfully with climate changes.---William Fortner 2007 ---
Civility
I do not expect other nations to kowtow to the United States, but I do expect them to be civil.--- William Fortner 2006 ---
The Church of Global Warming
The Church of Global Warming claims if it is hot, it is due to global warming; if it is cold, it is also due to global warming and, above all, the fault of human activity. The fact that this is routine over countless millennia and the sun is measurably warmer now is meaningless data. --- William Fortner 2007 ---
