The debt we are creating for our children and grandchildren is totally unfair to them and very selfish of us. I am a "Baby Boomer". My parents brought me into a world when this country believed in fiscal responsibility and it was rich. We had such a surplus of cash we lent it to other countries. Well, the Baby Boomers have not only decimated our parent's wealth, but we are creating an unfair financial burden on the next generations. We are pathetic and greedy. We need to put the American Government on a budget and some how make them work within that budget. All unnecessary spending needs to come to an immediate halt. More spending, no matter what label you put on it will only inflict more injury. We are headed down the wrong road to recovery. We need to stop and turn around.
Most of the projects slated for Federal Funding are either City, County, or State Projects. These projects should be funded from the appropriate money pool. If the pool is empty, like the Federal pool is, ... don't dive in!.
1) The project request is not for $600m. It is closer to $1m. This site is incorrect as stated below the title.
2) ALL PROJECTS ON THIS SITE ARE NOT IN THE STIMULUS PACKAGE!
Retards. Read the home page. These projects have been submitted by the public to this web site. This web site is not the stimulus package. Jesus H Christ.
Doesn't matter if it is in the package or not. Even at the paltry sum of $1 Million it is a waste of taxpayer money.
So Jim, I really didn't expect to hear from you again. How was the Koolaid?
Take a deep breath and try to relax. The responses on this website express the opinions of taxpayers about how and where they want their money spent. Whether or not this stimulates the economy is debatable, but its intrinsic value is questionable.
Anyway, yes, it's a costly project, but it's kind of interesting. Plus, I love the quote from Mayor Jake Middleton:
“Six hundred million? That could build a highway across the South. I don’t even know where that figure came from."
“That’s crazy. Who in their right mind would ask for $600 million?”
It sounds like the kind of place I might like to visit. A nice place to reflect on the slave market, and remember that no matter how bad the government may seem to suck, we're still doing better in some ways than we once were.
All that aside, this porkulus bill is bull. Taxpayer dollars to pay for "creating an African American/Ethnic Heritage Trail "? That's BS. I could think of a hundred better uses.
In the end the project may cost a 1/4 to half of that and the rest goes into the pocket of the politician.
crooked?? next you will be telling us rassling id fake right??
the poor ignoran republicans gave not 1 vote for this PORKER in the house and a few
Dems voted NO also ... in the seanate 3 republicans sold out to us ALL....IF YOU HAVE
POLITICANS THAT ARE SOOOOO CROOKED WHY DON"T YOU VOTE THEM OUT??????
I have no problem with marking any historical site. Different ethnic groups have different histories in this country and they are all interesting and part of our heritage. What is outrageous about this project is spending any more than a few thousand dollars on it.
not the benifets but paying this PORKER off and if you
remember the VOTE you can thank the DEMOCRATS and
your own home grown Pres. aren't YOU proud????
built a trail for the red americans maybe the brown americans God forbid anyone
would dare mention something for the WHITE americans
Any one want want to tell me why it is OK to have
a BLACK miss america????
a College fund for BLACKS only????
TV for BLACKS????
BLACK cacuss in congress????
Colleges for BLACKS only????
Years of hireing BLACKS that were not quilified for the job????
WE ALL KNOW WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF WE SWAPED THE WORD
WHITE FOR BLACK ON THIS LIST right????
Casinos create very few jobs and take the money away from the city.
and their yet unborn children and then theirs also
With the vast remainder (not likely unless you can do a better job of justifying the amounts...) I urge you to fund micro loans. Historically, self employed people develop small businesses that bring about lots of permanent jobs. The loan might be as little as 5,000, but it's near zero interest and MUST be paid back...otherwise no more loans for 10 years unless steep penalties are levied.
You might think $5,000 is chump change, but it might be enough for a commercial solar oven made from plywood, reflective insulation board, glass found at recycle centers. A small solar panel driving a small fan provides the air movement required to make it work. An oven of say 4 x 8 feet can house many loaves of bread. How much does a loaf cost in your grocery store? Several of these home made ovens promise a good return for an enterprising young person who's given a chance with a micro-loan. Ebay owner has provided many millions of dollars to his native India, in the form of micro-loans. Maybe he can match the US Govt. micro-loan project to areas such as this.
Other very promising, low tech items such as solar thermal collectors could also bring in the bucks. These can provide hot water, hot air (in winter), and be the hot source for absorption chillers (air conditioning and refrigeration). The panels can be made with a minimum of skill.
Here in Calif. we make motor systems for bicycles...and these could also be installed in this area on bikes. Low cost transportation that gets you around just fine. Most people spend more on their blasted cars than their kids! Go to China, India, Europe, Japan...the bicycle is a respected means of transportation for folks who in many cases have a higher standard of living than we "rich" Americanos. We've let our politicians run our economy into the ground...factories moving abroad...the military complex taking jobs that would otherwise benefit us here rather than get blown up abroad. Figures. No one even talks about the cost of the war and how getting out will be a GREAT stimulus for the economy! Let those in far off countries fight their own wars while we defend our own soil against foreign threats. The 911 terrorists who piloted the planes into the buildings were trained by us at our own flying schools! The FBI knew of threats but they did not follow up...so now we have multiple wars that take or maim our young and bankrupt us.
We need keen business minds to oversee this stimulus...not the usual blood sucking attorneys posing as civic leaders. We've got to pay the loans back or run the risk of foreigners either taking more of our assets by default, or writing off their losses once they realize we won't pay back (and we're then barefoot since all our shoes now come from China).
seriously dood - i ain't cooking bread in tinfoil lined cardboard boxes - recyled or otherwise
Not only do you lack imagination regarding opportunities to make money (bread tastes fine baked by the sun...), but you seem not to realize I could be doing something other than sharing thoughts that end up being criticized by prejudice people like yourself...most likely on the dole. What are YOUR suggestions Mam?
Keep buying your Frito's and Mountain Dew made in the fancy stainless steel ovens and bottling plants you'll never afford to own because you don't dare try somethin' some Californian suggested.
BTW...I'm not originally from this State...but came here from TX because of narrow minded, pea brain size people like yourself.
in both states
are Did you know compaines and people are doing a mass exit from your state???...
So you have all the Disney parks ect. to keep the youth in the area and proud ...problem is
they grow up and learn they are taxed beyond belief then Nancy comes into their life and they
have to pay thw way for illiegals... boy I bet they are PROUD of that.....Do you have a solar powered
TV to watch?? do you know the Gov is telling the world your state is busted?? Maybe the way you
state taxes and spends for projects as stupid as this PORKER is.. should be droped YOU
want jobs??? send the illigals home they have jobs then legal workers can have them..plud
you have less draniage of your economy..Yeah I know the downside less illigal votes for the DEMS
sad isn't ?????
Try solving the probs in your stomping grounds prior to saving the Islands
BTW Keen business minds say the PORKER is BS and should not take place....
why not lissen to them????
I'm in full agreement with you regarding the irresponsibility of California State. The government's broke and don't think raising the sales tax (and other taxes) is going to make it worse. As for illegals making it that much more difficult...I couldn't agree more...and it's not just Mexicans. Asians, Middle Easterners, South Americans, Europeans, Africans...anyone who lands and doesn't leave when their visa expires should be deported. A friend in Dallas was telling me they rounded up a slew of Chinese illegals there...had to support them until their case went to trial...the judge ordered them deported but China wouldn't accept anyone with a one way ticket. So guess what? They're back in town! There's also those who get the red carpet treatment by large corporations who claim they can't find trained professionals in our country...or rather trained pros that'll work as cheap as they want to pay. They're here too...legally. How many engineers born in the US are out of work now? How many times do you call an 800 number and get someone that sounds E. Indian, Central American, Phillipinian, Chinese?? These are all jobs we lost along with our shoe and clothing workers, plus who knows what else.
As for 'paddling' to Texas, if I had a month or two spare time I'd do it to show you people there are other ways of skinin' a cat. I'm not giving up my car for long distances, but for local 10 to 20 mile trips, an e-bike is just fine...saves me loads of cash and keeps the cut throat greedy doctors away.
As for the dems getting us into this fix...who ran the show the past 8 years? Did we get any oil out of the Iraq deal? How many billions and lives has it cost us so far? Course, you can believe Russ and the rest of the sore losers it was Clinton and Carter's fault we're in the mess. Reagan did absolutely nothing after our men and women in Lebanon were blown up...pulled out and let the terrorists take over the place. We could have stopped them back then before they got established also in Africa and Europe, but Ronny was too busy smiling and making folks believe his Hollywood vision of life. Clinton sat on the fence and did whatever it took to stay in this position, including support for the deregulation of banks. If he thought this was a good move for the country, he was an idiot. If he didn't think it was a good move, then what does that make him?
The issue of making it possible for low income folks to get loans was well intentioned, but fool hearty if the banks didn't back themselves up in the event customers couldn't make payments down the line. Was it the poor folks' fault or the greedy loan sharks who put us in this mess? Many of these folks have stuck with their upside down loans unless they're in a bankrupt state like Calif. or Mich. where the property is worth a third of what they paid for it. Hell, I'd jump ship too under the circumstances...go to another state like you say...whatever it takes to survive! I'm just hoping there'll be someone in Calif. that could take Huey Long's place... In case he's before your time, run a search and read Wikipedia.
We have a black president, had the 60s black movement, 70s riots and fought a bloody civil war of the issue of slavery. The important sites of the racial struggles already have memorials.
Surprise SURPRISE Other BLACKS caught them and were well payed to bring them
to the ships to be brought to SLAVERY EVER hear ONE thing about going back and
punishing the childern of grandchildren of thes people???? I will be happy to pay as much
as one of them BETTER yet bring me one of these slave and I wll take care of him/her
how about a child grandchild or greatgrand child not happy here I can get funds to send
you back...all you have to do is stay THERE forever
That's 9 mil a job not 900,000.
Time to remind people the US is a country of the MAJORITY!
OBAMA is just like the rest of them (politicians). I don't even want to get into the the 1st African American President thing. That man has no love for our country and this is his first step in setting it up to implode. AfricanAmerican, Italian American, Mexican American; bull crap. You are American or you ought to be leaving. Thats one less person we need to spend the pork money on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He lied to all of you who voted for him. There is no money anywhere in this bill for saving the lives of unborn children, but he sent $4,000,000,000 to Mexico to reinitiate the "Mexican Treaty". We fund abortions for mexicans, in mexico so they can control their population. But not one dime for saving a life. By the way, when your parents and grandparents get up in age and need hospitilization, under Obama, the Doctors will be forced to decide if it is a "waste of money" to save them. There is your hero, killing your parents and grandparents.
I apologize for unloading on this particular person, but I just had to say it somewhere. If you voted for him, you were duped.
He LIED to EVERYONE but for ever 100 who belived him and voted for him ...
98 of us knowing his record did not also as you mentioned the PORKER does
send LOTS of money outside the the USA to stimulate them and also create jobs
I am sure the Democrats are looking for ways they can vote next election If the currant
plan to count more votes than has voters and not ONE republican vote cast in a whole
county Just like the vote in N Korea we all belived EVER vote in the country was
for1 man right???
Then Sen. Chuck Schumer - D-NY came on the scene and said--"and let me say this to all of the chattering class that so much focuses on those little, tiny, yes, Porky Amendments; The American people really don't care."
This was after Nancy Palosi took a pledge on- I believe it was Jan. 11, 2009 - where she pledged that in the Obama Administration there would be No Pork.
And this after Obama vowed to do away with lobbiest's- althought at the time I didn't realize that he planned to do away with them by giving them jobs in his administration---
Are we beginning to see a pattern of lies and deception here?
Well, some of us have noticed the development of this pattern all along. Some are beginning to see it, much like the picture in a jigsaw puzzle coming to light as each piece is added, and some will never see it through the glaze and haze of stardust.
In the meantime, local projects are now classified as "Crisis Projects" Greedy people who have learned to "Oink" in unison with the Liberal Pig Farmers in DC are leaping into the trough even though they don't need to be fed. All at the taxpayers expense.
Obama's "Truth Doctrine". We should never forget that Fairy Tale!
Didn't your grandfather tell us not to worry about Japan in Nov. of 1942???
HOW ABOUT USING "WELFARE RECIPIENTS" TO PERFORM ALL OF THE LABOR? Better yet, why not cut off a large majority of "welfare recipients" who are able bodied and continue to make children that they cannot afford? How about only helping the "needy", not the "greedy"?
IF WELFARE WERE LEGITIMATELY REFORMED, THERE WOULD BE MORE TAX DOLLARS AVAILABLE FOR REASONABLE CAUSES!!!!!!!!!!!!
personally, if this had to be reported to your paper, they are not doing their job - it took mary mae in another state to call her relative in natchez to get this brought to their attention - kinda sad
rather than accuse - your paper should research where the error was made - and if the error was accidental
However if the amount is so outrageously misrepresented from 1M to 600M then this posting seems to me as a way of spitting in our eyes and make it a racist issue. Please let’s get the facts straight.
The Man is over Half White... what say we make a Bust of him that
should cover the Black part right??
we the people. If you or I spent money like this we would be in jail. This Gov is corrupt. We fought England for independance maybe its time to get back to the begining REVOLUTION baby.
were you born yesterday or did you just crawl out form under a rock? $600 million typo aside, you need to read up on American history. Remember Jim Crow? Separate but "Equal"? Code Noir? Historically Black Colleges and Universities were once the only option for African Americans seeking higher education. So thank people like Gov. Wallace for sending national guard troops to keep African American students out of the University of Alabama when the schools were federally desegragated.
Do you know what "Racism" is? Ever since the first White person stepped foot on this land, there have been those that use their power to keep people of color in submission to whites. Generations of African Americans have struggled against these forces just to be able to have the opportunity to have the "inalienable rights" afforded "Americans" in the Constitution. That is why, in this county at least, only "whites" can be "racists". Anyone can be prejudiced, ignorant, or brainwashed by racial stereotypes. "You rob us, carjack us..." Who is "you" and who is "us" ? Are There no white criminals? Are people of color not victims of crimes? Are there no non-white police officers who must fear for their lives while trying to protect their families and communities?
By the way... What "rights" have you "lost"? Last time I checked white people made the laws in this country (unless you count the few executive orders issued by Pres. Obama in his 3 weeks in office). Be proud to be whoever and whatever you are but
PLEASE...READ A BOOK!!!
To quote the economist Frederick Bastiat:
"this feverish activity [the government creating jobs]... attracts everyone's eye and is what is seen; the people applaud, marvel at the beauty and ease of the procedure, and demand its repetition and extension. What is not seen is that an equal number of jobs, probably more useful, have been prevented from being created in the rest of [the country]."
I want that money for an English French Russian Polish American Trail...that's what I must be and it would be prejudicial and racist against MY people if we didn't get it...GET IT?
Aren't the rest of you AMERICANS a little sick and fed up with this kind of CRAP?
This raises the question, what, we're giving them $$ and they don't know the distance?
And let's just say it is $3 mil for 1.5 miles ... that's almost $380 a FOOT to build this trail. To me, that's awfully expensive pea gravel, mulch and/or concrete!
Lincoln would agree; Obama would not. There is a huge difference in philosophy.
Lincoln pressed for unity; Obama divides us by going against the spirit of the constitution with “big (socialized) government”. All Americans need to celebrate their American heritage and that means individual freedom for all. Placating and pacifying descendants of victims of years past has gone on too long and it is time to move on. We have a President of the ethnic persuasion which should put this to bed but instead, it intensifies. Many American families are broken in the inner cities. Fix that and the ghettos go away. Fathers need to take responsibility and embrace our American culture of putting children and family first. The American dream is not about money it is about having the privilege and the pride of honoring our responsibility as Americans; together, one nation under God. Government is only there to ensure our freedom is enabled to the fullest and to be realized by every American regardless of race. It is time to stop celebrating bondage as a justification for entitlements and begin anew. Celebrate our freedom before it evaporates; together. For that we make no apologies. The country is what you make it; seize the opportunity of the future and be free of the bondage of the past.
One guy bids $700 after he measures up and estimates the job
One guy bids $800 after he measures up and estimates the job
One guy bids $2700 and doesn't even measure up the job.
The third guy gets the job. $1,000 is for him, $1,000 is for the congressman, and $700 goes to the first bidder to do the job.
This is the way it works. Everyone get stimulated.
Hello,
My name is Sandra Vincent; I am originally from York, Pa. but now I reside in Richardson, TX. (1603 Woodoak Dr. Richardson TX 75082) I am 66 years of age; my only income is Social Security. I have no savings of any kind and no other retirement income. I am trying to save a house I share with my son-in-law after losing my daughter to cancer a few years back.
I know this is a long shot but I thought I would reach out to others and see if there were any options for buying a little more time until other funds or options might become available. I realize the likelihood of receiving any help might not be there but I thought I would try. This house was very dear to my daughter and son-in-law.
Some History;
I moved to Dallas to be with my daughter, I no longer had work and the last remaining member of my family, my sister, passed away, so I packed up and moved and hoped to start a new life in Dallas. Everything was going well, I found a job shortly after coming to Dallas, bought a new car and lived with my daughter in her apartment. Michelle was working two jobs and going to school. Michelle was dating a man named Allen who she was very fond of, he had found a really good job working in IT Telecom Helpdesk for J. C. Penney in their Corporate office and after her graduation they talked of marriage and wanted to get a house big enough for all 3 of us, because we all got along quite well.
Michelle was a Navy Seabee/carpenter for 5 years so she wanted a fixer upper with hopes of getting married and having a family. Michelle found this house in Richardson, TX, and she loved it and thought it would be a good place to start. However, although they started a lot of repair projects, such as painting, ceiling fans, some new doors, cutting down trees etc. all seemed to slow down to a halt when Michelle discovered she had breast cancer. I thought maybe she had a good chance of surviving as I am a breast cancer survivor myself of over 20 years.
The doctors she was seeing gave her a very poor outcome, so my soon to be son-in-law Allen started researching Cancer on the internet in order to buy her more time. Nothing was working, Michelle had a lumpectomy, chemotherapy, and than a mastectomy removing the right breast. Another small surgery to remove even more cancer, after numerous rounds of radiation, the cancer was metastatic moving to the bones and spine. Michelle was spending quite a bit of time in the hospital while Allen and I and other church people kept vigilance at her bedside. Long story short, Michelle had a short time to live, my son in law found an experimental treatment www.IPTQ.com the treatment held a lot of promise for Michelle but the only person who was using this treatment was in Atlanta, GA. Michelle went to Atlanta and did OK the first few days, but the guy treating her was deceptive in his skills and grossly overdosed her on Methyltrexate. Because of the overdose Michelle suffered with failed kidneys, septic shock and passed away of congestive heart failure on Christmas Day a few years ago.
My son-in-law and I were both at the hospital when Michelle passed away, it was horrible losing my daughter but my son-in-law took it very hard. Although he tried to return to work he couldn’t deal with the grief and guilt he felt, lost his job and has had a very difficult time trying to find work since, he has been hospitalized many times for drug overdose and is mentally and emotionally disabled still. He has been trying to continue the work on the house in memory of my daughter, while being under psychiatric care and on several meds dealing with PTSD, anxiety disorder, as well as many side effects from the meds he is currently on.
At Present;
Currently, he has just been approved for disability, but we are behind on the mortgage 6+ months and Wells Fargo is threatening to start the foreclosure process on us which can happen in 20-30 days now after receiving there demand letter. I did take early retirement, no longer able to deal with the traffic, I have been basically taking care of Allen and in so doing, have used up all my funds, maxed out every Credit Card, hoping that I would find work, Allen would get well and find and keep work also. None of which happened. There are days Allen is too depressed to get up out of bed and other days he seems to do better and works on the house finishing what ever he starts however if someone or something upsets him he is back in a very depressed state for days.
The house still needs many repairs, wiring problems in the attic, no insulation, and the roof needs leaks and needs replacing, no yard, no fence, Inside flooring is bad and more. Allen has no one and we both have no where to go. The only way to survive is to find some way to get the house paid off or at least caught up until he gets on disability.
Employment Options;
He has sent out thousands of resumes to no avail. Allen & I have been to many job fairs to no avail. The few who have called told both of us they have so many applying that they has a long list of qualifying questions such as; Good Credit, recent work history and experience, Active up to date Certifications, Retail and more. I have witnessed Allen on the phone begging for more time with no luck. Allen sued his ex employer with hope of clearing his name and getting his job back but is settled out of the Sherman federal court house. (Civil Action No. 4:05CV238)
Allen has expressed interest in Writing and making short films because he can work at it like small projects, starting and stopping as he needs in his condition. out of the house but I don’t know if he could make any money with that type of work or not. I was hoping to get some type of work as I guess it’s the worst time to hunt work, considering the economy, and the fact that I no longer could pay my bills, my Credit rating is so low that it is now preventing me from getting work.
Seeking other help;
I and Allen have tried many Charities and organizations to get help, have gotten help with food but they can only do so much. I have always paid all my bills, always had a job, and provided for my child, and I am not used to being this destitute. I want to stay in the house; I have a few pets, one of which was my daughter’s rat terrier named Sassy. With my present financial situation, I probably couldn’t find other housing because of income and credit. I really need to keep this house and not be homeless. Allen has called Wells Fargo Countless times begging them for more time or some type of Loan Modification etc. but they won’t work with him or what little Income I bring in with Social Security.
Our only way out at present is to get out from under the mortgage; I might mention we are in an upside down situation with the mortgage. The appraised value of the house is more than it could sell for, so getting rid of the house is impossible and if we did, we would not have any money left to move anywhere else after paying off the mortgage. With no mortgage payment or at least one delayed long enough for Allen to receive disability funds and what I receive on my Social Security I feel very confident; we could pay the monthly bills and stay in the home my daughter loved. I am still actively seeking work but to no avail at present.
We have several small dogs and birds that help keep both Allen and I from going nuts, they are like children and to loose one of them would be very hard. I realize this is a long letter, but I had to give you some background to show you that I have been trying to stay afloat, but I am now drowning. I have no family to help with anything. If you know of anything more that I can do or any other programs that will help me survive this situation, please let me know ASAP. The house in an FHA 30 Year Fixed loan, at 6.5%, monthly payment amount of around $1230.00 and payoff of around $135,000 counting the 12,274.22 late payments.
If you desire anymore information of any kind, or need to send paper work to be filled out, please write me at reaxe@yahoo.com or mail to: Sandra L. Vincent, P. O. Box 852094, Richardson, TX 75085-0294.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
Sandra L. Vincent

Michelle’s testimony, just moments before her baptism.
I share with you today, as briefly as possible, my calling from the Lord. I have had what you would call a "Wake-up call". I have always believed in God, but until this time that belief has held no meaning - who was He, and what was I to do? I never really pursued the answers until now. I always thought that being a good person who never meant to hurt anyone or anything intentionally was all that was needed to get to heaven. Oh, how wrong I was!
I have to say that I have thought about whether my getting sick was punishment for my fleshly past and disbelief. But then I realized that in my past I was completely ignorant of God, so how could I hold myself responsible for not knowing I needed to live with the divine Light inside me? And even though this illness could take my body at any time, I am at peace with it because I know that the Lord has given this suffering to me - not as a punishment, but as an awakening for starting my quest for the Kingdom.
I have now been born of God and mature I must, as quickly as possible. I realize that I may not finish my quest for the Kingdom before my flesh is taken. But again I am at peace because I know that even 1000 years of outer darkness with all of its sufferings will be a small price to pay for the eternity that awaits me.
A dear friend introduced me to the saints here in Irving about 6 months ago, and from the very first meeting I felt a fellowship that I have never felt before. To be honest it was a bit weird and made me a little uncomfortable. But after speaking with some brothers and especially some sisters, who are now my dear friends, I’ve realized that being uncomfortable was ok. I’ve learned a lot from them and the meetings, and have received a new way of looking at my life and my world.
Suddenly my things are not really important anymore, and the little issues, problems, etc., that come about every day are no longer bothersome. I’ve learned that the big things that happen to me are not necessarily my only means of gaining the Lord inwardly. They are an opportunity to do so, but hopefully the big things are few and far between. It is the little things that happen everyday that are my big opportunities to gain Christ, because they are constant.
I’ve learned that to walk with our Father in the Kingdom, all I have to do is ask Him in prayer. I know that I’m expected to fail, and fail I have, and that’s ok, because by failing I’m just given another opportunity to gain Him in asking Him for forgiveness. And on those rare days when no little or big things occur, I just pray and thank Him for a wonderful day.
As I was writing this, and reading it, and re-reading to be sure it contains all I wanted to say, I realized again how very simple it is to gain the Lord. Then I wondered how anything so gracious, glorious and rewarding could be so easy - BUT I’m not questioning it. This reminded me of a young brother who shared a few weeks back on a Lord's Day that he didn’t know why a mathematical equation worked in calculus; he just knew that it did and relied on it. That’s kind of what I’ve gotten out of how easy it is to gain the Lord.
All of this is adding up to something very special: Today I am going to be baptized, and I have my family and friends here to witness and celebrate this occasion with me. Today is the day that I kick Satan to the curb. He no longer has a hold over me, because I know that whatever may come my way, I can handle it because I have the Lord, my Savior and Friend, on my side, and that with all the support I have from my brothers and sisters, and from my family and friends, I won’t be able to lose for trying. So with that said, I say, "Bring it On!" I’m ready to make the most out of every opportunity I’m given towards my quest for the New Jerusalem.
As I get baptized today I want to thank the saints for taking me by the hand and helping me to see that it’s ok to be human as long as I live with the divine life inside me. It is now my responsibility to live each day using my new awareness of prayer and the consciousness of the Lord within me, because thanks to the Father, my ignorance of Him no longer exists.

"Retards? Don't you think you're language is unnecessary? I didn't not know Jesus had a middle name. What does the H stand for? By the way, you are correct. The site does specifically state that these are NOT part of the package. They are, however, some of the most riduculous programs that I have ever seen. 600m or 1m this is still ridiculous."
H ? Why Houssain of course! now that the election is over, we're allowed to say it louder than our Burqa would normally stifle.
Where's Eric Cartman when we need him!

Margaret Thatcher “The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money.”
we are all SLAVES right now... Slaves to the Government of the United States of America.....
if this project goes through, we are also NUTS.... what insane individual or persons would make such a proposal...????? are we this stupid, that we will let useless projects come to fruitian...
as for slaves.... well there are none in this country anymore... and those who's ancesters were, should kiss the ground they walk on everyday that their forefathers were brought to the New World... all one has to do is read what happens in Africa on a daily basis, and they'll thank God their ancesters were slaves.... I DO, EVERYDAY...... "THANK YOU GOD FOR WHAT YOU HAVE GIVEN ME. I WILL CHERISH AND RESPECT IT ALL OF MY LIFE".....
GET OVER THIS PORK PROJECT and Let's Make A Real, Long-Lasting Environment for Permanent (NOT TEMPORARY) Jobs!!!!
We have let them believe long enough, that the Americans of the American Revolution don't exist anymore!
Here we go with the obama "yes we can" BS!
were you born yesterday or did you just crawl out form under a rock? $600 million typo aside, you need to read up on American history. Remember Jim Crow? Separate but "Equal"? Code Noir? Historically Black Colleges and Universities were once the only option for African Americans seeking higher education. So thank people like Gov. Wallace for sending national guard troops to keep African American students out of the University of Alabama when the schools were federally desegragated.
Do you know what "Racism" is? Ever since the first White person stepped foot on this land, there have been those that use their power to keep people of color in submission to whites. Generations of African Americans have struggled against these forces just to be able to have the opportunity to have the "inalienable rights" afforded "Americans" in the Constitution. That is why, in this county at least, only "whites" can be "racists". Anyone can be prejudiced, ignorant, or brainwashed by racial stereotypes. "You rob us, carjack us..." Who is "you" and who is "us" ? Are There no white criminals? Are people of color not victims of crimes? Are there no non-white police officers who must fear for their lives while trying to protect their families and communities?
By the way... What "rights" have you "lost"? Last time I checked white people made the laws in this country (unless you count the few executive orders issued by Pres. Obama in his 3 weeks in office). Be proud to be whoever and whatever you are but
PLEASE...READ A BOOK!!!
Italian-Americans>>> Mexican-Americans, et. al. i don't refer to myself as a Bulgarian-American, yet my grandparents defected to america when they were 12 years old. if you were born in this country or naturalized......you are an AMERICAN, plain and simple. yet we do still have miss black america, black entertainment television, united? NEGRO? college fund? funny, i don't recall ever watching miss bulgarian america or bulgarian entertainment television??
funny too.... why is obama an AFRICAN-American?? isn't he half white also??
PLEASE... LOOK IN THE MIRROR SOON!
ps.... what rights have YOU lost? and do you really know how many blacks serve in the house/senate and help make THE RULES?? do your homework and you'll see!
A t the start of your 2nd paragraph YOU made the BIG mistake of all ..the first men
on earth were NOT white look at the modern places in the history of man see
many whitties besides the vistors??? EVER read the books that tell how poor
black slaves begain??? seems like the man was free and happy Then OTHER
BLACKS rounded them up and sold them soooo the first men to inslave Blacks
were..... come on you can get...here is a hint they were not WHITE in color OK OK
the answer is BLACKS you should take your own advice READ A BOOK
WHAT rights have I lost..as a young man fresh out of the ARMY {BTW most of the troops
I saw on 3 different Bases were WHITE} I tried to get several jobs in Dallas TX my first
BIG suprise was being toldat the US Post Office tAll of the full time jobs went to BLACKS
and WOMEN Many othersemployers told me that had to fufill a quota first..
WHITE people making the laws what a joke DEMOCRATS have been kissing your asses
for years anything to get the BLACK vote...OBAMA is not EVEN HALF BLACK he doesn't seem
to PROUD to be mostely white
The BLACK anything you needed has long out lasted its need ...and in the face of racism
its just ONE more thing blacks have that NO white person can when a Black is around me
we treat each other with respect when a black racist calls me old white honeky I call him a
stupid nigger I have never honked my horn for a black whore to come to me
lets talk about crime again maybe you should read a book MOST crime on BLACKS is from
other BLACKS I will agree that more whites get off but here is a hint STOP comiting a crime
and then you don't have to get off... maybe you could read a book to those who can not read
because your UNION teacher let you graduate not knowing how to read or write you might
want to thank you NO votchers for the poor Democrats friends for that also here is a secret
if they keep you ignorant and poor you will keep voting for them so they can pass a PORKER
like this to remind you that other blacks sold you out......something tells me you will not have
anything like this on the trail
secret or maybe the President is ashamed of it ...he is NOT even Half Black
The day he was sworn in some left wing nut om MSNBC said that at last
there would be 2 blacks in the White House I thought this is not true.....then
I remembered.. I was wrong Michell O and her Mother are the 2 blacks Right??
SOOOOO do you like the CHANGE so far??? lets HOPE there is not more to come
