Spin the Wheel

From 1962 to 2009, perhaps the most famous movie series produced in history was that of Ian Fleming's hero, James Bond: 007. I have stayed in two hotels in Asia where the Bond films were made. Although I cannot read the books or see the films, I still think the episodes of the Bond exploits are very exciting in this world of science fiction. I often feel I am living in a James Bond movie, with the technology and characters, stranger than any fiction writer could imagine, operating in seats of power in Washington, state capitals, and even county office buildings. Ian Fleming, on his most imaginary day, would be unable to create a Paulson, Berneke, Obama, or God help us, Rahm Emanuel.

In a country, which was first in flight, actually “supposedly” had men walking on the moon, we do not send up a space vehicle if a bad cloud is on the horizon. In a country, whose scientific laboratory have coughed out such life saving and life extending pharmaceuticals such as Enzyme inhibitors, insulin inhalers, microscopic transplants and peer review knowledge astounding to the rest of the world, we are about to totally cripple our admittedly flawed health care with Obama death care.

The media, totally under the hypnotic spell of these liberal “wanna-be” socialist nations have spun deceit with Indy 500 record speed. In traveling throughout the world, the first question any young person asks me, “Can you help me get to America?” We have been the guiding light, the land of opportunity, for people “yearning to be free” (Emma Lazarus; Statue of Liberty) from the time Dr. Franklin said, “We have a Republic if we can hold onto it.” But, the “forbidden fruit” of greed which inflicted our first ancestors and caused them to get thrown out of their garden, has so enticed corrupt officials, government and financial, that hard-working, tax-paying, God-fearing citizens now are faced with the disaster of homelessness. The land of the free and the home of the brave has become the land of the shackled and the home of the cowardly.

To date, $915 billion has been spent in Iraq to rid one county of a tyrant, Saddam Hussein, a man found cowarding in a rat hole; a man who had brought near-disaster to an entire area of the world through his treachery. We have lost thousands of our finest simply because of the ineptness of such state department officials as April Gillespie and military officials as Donald Rumsfeld. Could anyone, with any intelligence, explain why, in a country at war, the number of motor vehicles should increase by 80% while the people were at war? Perhaps the enemy needed more cars with which to haul bombs around in which to kill people. One of the greatest generals the world has ever known, General George Paten, who led American troops to victory in a marvelous way, was killed by his own country, and it did not ruffle one feather. A great president, President John F. Kennedy, was murdered, and every means possible has been used to cover up the killing.

The news, visual and print, have learned to spin anything, anytime, just to suit the purposes of those who cherish the thoughts of a defeated America. Even Pat Robertson, son of a US Senator, noted university president, probably best known media commentator in the world, has said, “Obama is here, socialism in America is a fact.” Even Roger Baldwin, communist chairman of the ACLU for 30 years, could not have imagined how easily it has happened. Nikita Khrushchev , successor to Stalin, who had to murder an estimated 100 million of his fellow Russians in order to establish Marxist Socialism (communism) predicted that we would become socialist one politician at a time, “by drips and drabs.” A black communist said on a local radio station recently, “Socialism is good. We already have Social Security, we have socialized food programs in the schools and in the communities, we have socialized medical care (Medicare and Medicaid), the schools and universities are all socialized and all have socialist instructors. Everything you do in your life is controlled by a license or a permit. The government is slowly but surely controlling all your needs and you can feel free to spend your own money on your wants.” He further stated, “You should be willing to pay more in taxes and just learn to relax. We no longer need God; God never needed us. We need government and government needs us.”

When we were children, we played the game 'Spin the Bottle.' The lucky or unlucky person, as the case may be, was “it” when the bottle pointed. We are all “it” now. Each man, woman and child, in spite of the spin of the liberal media, owes the Federal Government $500,000 each. Do you have yours? The time has come to cut out such useless government programs such as NASA (when is the last time NASA accomplished anything). It is time for the government to retire all politicians and bureaucrats with the same expectations as the rest of us. It is time to end all grants to college students. Let them work through their college education like the rest of us did. It is time to end all government subsidies for school food (we took a peanut butter sandwich to school and we ate breakfast at home). It is time to end all subsidies to farmers. It is time to end all food stamps. The disabled, the veterans, most elderly do not participate in these programs. It is time for the average citizen to learn to live like the largest minority in this country (estimated 38 million), the disabled live: thankful for crumbs from anyone's table. The veterans, many of them disabled, again, thankful for crumbs from anyone's table. At least, rich, poor, black, white, learned, or unlearned, we are not facing the certain fate of the abortion of the unborn or the certain euthanasia of old people. This is not spin, this is a roller coaster of facts.
