Media Anti-Military Bias
I watched thenews report of the 25th anniversary of the Challenger explosion on the news and thought to myself. I remembered that day and I remembered another just one month prior, Dec 12, 1985. 248 soldiers of the 101st Airborne Division were on board a plane bound for home. They had served 6 months in the Sinai Penisula as part of the UN's peacekeeping force between Israel and Egypt and were going home for Christmas. The plane crashed near Gander, Canada with no survivors. 248 soldiers' families received the worst news a family could imagine that day, and 25 years later only Fort Campbell and Gander seem to remember. I heard nothing on the main media, no coverage of the annual memorial at Fort Campbell, no interviews with family or friends of any of the 248 soldiers and 8 air crew members who died. I do not belittle the service of our astronauts, but I also honor the service of our soldiers. May they all rest in peace and their families be comforted that their loved ones are remembered and cherished by a grateful country, even if not by the news media.

Things the American People Need to Force the Government to Do
1. Evict the UN from the USA and stop paying any tax dollars for any UN projects or administration, then sell the UN facilities for commercial use.
2. Stop all foreign aid; we cannot pay our own bills, why are we paying everyone else’s?
3. Bring our troops and equipment back from overseas. We have done what we can in Iraq, Germany, Japan, Korea, and other parts of the world.
4. Deploy our troops along the southern border, and while they are there have them install triple strand concertina wire, mine fields, tangle foot and pungi stakes. Have hardened border crossing funnels to let illegals return to Mexico, and control who is allowed into the USA.
5. Naval forces would join the Coast Guard in patrolling the Pacific and Atlantic coasts, the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea.
6. Once the border is secure, give illegals one month to voluntarily exit with their belongings, after the one month any illegal found in the US will be taken to border crossing with one set of clothing, all other processions are then forfeit.
7. Once illegals in US prisons finish their prison term, return them to their country of origin.
8. Convicted murderers, rapists, and smugglers currently in prison are to be executed, hung by the neck until dead.
9. End “disability” payments to people for alcoholism and drug dependency.
10. Insurance companies should not have to pay for medical treatment for sexually transmitted diseases.
11. Corporations which have closed factories in the USA and reopened them in foreign countries will be heavily and punitively taxed and their products imported into the USA will have a heavy tariff. When these factories return and employ US citizens these taxes will be removed.
12. Corporate and income taxes will be no higher than 10%.
13. Eliminate inheritance taxes.
14. City residences should not have to pay county taxes.
15. Put a 5 year freeze on immigration, with the exception of foreign born spouses of military personnel.
16. After 5 years return to the pre-Kennedy Immigration Reform requirements for immigration.
17. Stop funding NPR and PBS, let them compete in the marketplace.
18. Return education control to local school boards and, emphasize what is great about America.
19. Remove any one who is able to work from welfare rolls, and charge rent for “public housing”.
20. Any un-wed mother on welfare who gets pregnant a second time loses benefits; there are too many ways to prevent pregnancy.
2. Stop all foreign aid; we cannot pay our own bills, why are we paying everyone else’s?

The Tucson Blame Game
To blame conservative personalities and politicians for the Tucson shooting is as absurd as blaming vandalism on popular music, i.e., the Glee TV program has a song out "I Bust the Windows Out Your Car" does that mean whenever there is vandalism that the songwriter is to blame? What about the performer, or the recording studio, or the TV stations for broadcasting the performance of the song? Ridiculous? That is what the politicians and media is trying to do in regards to the Tucson shooting. Starting with the local Sheriff, Pima County Sheriff, Clarence Dupnik (D), politicians have been trying to squelch free speech that disagrees with the current administration and direction the country is being driven. They are saying that the "vitriolic" atmosphere caused this criminal to shoot these people, while people who know the criminal say that he was anti-politics and a pot head, and that his downward spiral began with his being romantically rejected in high school. In a panic politicians are trying to pass more laws, restricting honest citizens more, instead of enforcing the laws that exist.
