The New AmericanEvery so often, I receive a census form. One year it will be a census of agriculture, the next year it will be a census of business. For example, I found my copy of the “2007 Survey of Business Owners and Self-Employed Persons.” It came from the Census Bureau and stated, “YOUR RESPONSE IS...
Aug 29, 2009 Hospital beds are designed for the comfort of the staff. The patient can never get comfortable in them. If you ever manage to get yours all the way flat and begin to rest, in comes two of the staff, one of whom immedately presses buttons on the outside of the bed...

I have lived in a communist country (Hungary) for 11 years. Lately I begin to hear and see things that remind me of those years. The media was controlled, used for propaganda and dis-information only. Anyone disagreeing with the official version was REACTIONARY, FASCIST (they loved these words) or RIGHT WING HOOLIGANS. The government...
At John Tanner’s own town-hall meeting last week in Union City, somebody asked the congressman about his vote for the continued federal funding of Planned Parenthood, and somewhere in his response to that question, he said that if Planned Parenthood provided abortions, he did not know it. This means, of course, that in all...
Fred Marshall, Jr. I spoke with Matt, whom I believe to be Fred Marshall’s second son and it appears that Fred came through the surgery ok. He should be seeing the Doctor this morning and that he would pass on a message from his father this morning. He has not pushed the IV button...
August 21, 2009 This morning I met with Dr. Bill Fortson, the gastroenterologist who installed the stent in the bile duct, where it passes through the pancreas, last Monday. I had misunderstood part of the procedure and the risks. I had thought – - maybe presumed without justification – - that they...
August 19, 2009 Met with my surgeon today. I think I understand most of what I shall describe for you. The three-stage CT scan, with illumination and contrast, was apparently pretty definitive in many respects. The vast majority of pancreatic tumors are malignant, so that’s an assumed given. There was no observation that indicated the...
It’s not about me, he starts. Until Copernicus came along we, the selfish creatures that we are, thought it is was all about us. We were the center of the universe, we never moved. However, Copernicus pointed out that it was not about us, of course we didn’t believe him; at least not for...
Stacy Campfield wrote an interesting blog on the interviews that he had with the Gubernatorial candidates. Quite interesting! Everybody in, everybody wins. It is neat talking to the state wide candidates on their strategy to win the race. They all have a path to victory and are happy to talk about it. Having...
These past few days have been both hectic and interesting. Thanks to my younger son’s doctor, Dr. Joe Lewis, I was admitted to St. Francis Hospital on Sunday morning. Within half an hour he had a gastroenterologist standing by my bed, a Dr. William Fortson. Both are great gentlemen. I was able...
The Jackson City Council has been discussing the issue of health care that the city provides for its employees over the last couple of days. This discussion has over shadowed a much larger question that surrounds the new proposed parking garage issue. But all the same the Councilman from the 3rd District did comment....
Faced with mounting criticism of taxpayer-funded per diem and mileage payments, State Representative Joe Carr tells the Tennessean it was all a big mistake. He was blissfully ignorant of the fact that hard-working Tennesseans have paid him over $18,000 so far this year in addition to his salary. “I didn’t realize that every time I came to the legislature,...
Cutting off or controlling the AIR to something that has life is an old method but one that so many forget about. Our enemies understand this all too well and they use the *AIR* (MSM) to control what we *breathe*. The article below forwarded by Mark is one that I hope will ring a...

Since I hardly expect you to spend 3 hours listening to the Laurie Roth show out of Washington State, and I did; I’ll give you the benefit of some of my notes. The show is an interview of Doup Hagman (Private Eye, licensed in 33states) and Judi McLeod (Editor, Canada Free Press) on their...
There won’t be many times in your lives you’ll be able to “watch” someone die. I’ve decided to share the experience with as many people as I can. I want everybody, who doesn’t already have one, to have another opportunity to establish a close relationship with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Now is...
Dear President Obama: You are the thirteenth President under whom I have lived and unlike any of the others, you truly scare me. You scare me because after months of exposure, I know nothing about you. You scare me because I do not know how you paid for your expensive Ivy League education and...
There are two, maybe three, possibilities. That this might be my last communication is the worst case. Let me explain. Most of you know that I’ve been dealing with serious health problems for the past few months. My aorta is 97% blocked and that miracle that is the human body, in my case, has...
Local governements spend a lot of time and energy trying to find new ways to get the People’s money. State governments never stop looking for new, deceptive ways to get the People’s money. The federal government’s entire purpose for existing (in their view) is to forcibly take more and more of the...

Something I failed to include in the previous post on the Media was how, if you pay attention to what the print media and the audio propagandists are focusing on, you can figure out a lot of what the OWO goons are using to herd the masses with. It is used to HERD...
From a friend…. A friend who works at a car dealership recently told me about the “Cash for Clunkers” program at his dealership. Whether a vehicle is worth $100 or $4,000, the government will give you $4,500. They then are required to take what are often fully functional cars and trucks, drain the oil...

REAL CHOICE is getting government OUT of the picture – completely and totally OUT of the picture and the frame and the wire and nail it hangs on. As long as government has even a shadow on this issue it will be corrupted because that is how government performs - CORRUPTION. Taake a good...
When Death comes knocking on your door, what will you do….straighten up the living room, put the lid on the trash can in the kitchen, or try to run? I’ve been giving some thought to that as of late. I’d like to share some of those thoughts with readers. None of the tactics...
Most conspiracies normally involve only a very small number of people who really know what all is going on. There can be networks of large numbers of people unwittingly doing the legwork, but the intended results are known only to the “inner circle.” When two or more people conspire to rob a bank, sell...
Rep. Jason Mumpower took top honors as the leading House member in regards to spending per diem requests for the entire past session. Keep in mind these numbers could change due to some back dating that’s been going on with these requests, according to a source. Speaker Kent Williams’s office issued a letter July 17, 2009 with guidelines...

In my formal but unscripted farewell speech when I retired from the Army, I mentioned that we all ought to look in the mirror occasionally and ask “Who am I?” The answer, I went on, is that we are little more than the grand sum total – - a composite, if you will –...
It is long past time for Kay BAIL OUT to retire and enjoy the money she has creamed off the taxpayers. We so not need her sitting in WDC or Austin to suck more from the public teat. I encourage folks to examine her voting record – do NOT blindly accept her talk –...

If those Congresscritters think they are *safe* they better pay attention to what is going on outside those marbled heads they live in….. We must TAKE IT TO THEIR HOMES – just like they take it to OUR homes with the elimination of the FREEDOMS they take from us day after day with their...
