I believe the wrong guy resigned.

Congressman Pete Stark Does Not Belong In The US House of Representatives

Congressman Pete Stark is a sarcastic, uninformed, uneducated, disgrace to the people of the 13th District of California and has no place as a congressman in the U.S. House of Representatives. His arrogance and flippant answers serve as overwhelming evidence that this man has long forgotten why he was elected to represent the people of California and who he actually works for, if he ever knew in the first place.

If the people of the 13th District have any sense, they will vote this sorry excuse for a representative out of office by a land-slide vote the next time he is up for re-election and replace him with someone who understands who they represent and why they are going to Washington.

Which Side Of The Fence Are You On?

If a Republican doesn't like guns, he doesn’t buy one.
If a Democrat doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.


If a Republican is a vegetarian, he doesn’t eat meat.
If a Democrat is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.


If a Republican is homosexual, he quietly leads his life.
If a Democrat is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.


If a Republican is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.
A Democrat wonders who is going to take care of him.


If a Republican doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels.
Democrats demand that those they don't like be shut down.


If a Republican is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church.
A Democrat non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced.


If a Republican decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.
A Democrat demands that the rest of us pay for his.


If a Republican reads this, he'll forward it or post it to his blog so his friends can have a good laugh.
A Democrat will delete it because he's "offended".


Well, I posted it to my blog.

An open letter to President Obama from Jon Voight

An open letter from actor Jon Voight to President Obama:

June 22, 2010

President Obama:

You will be the first American president that lied to the Jewish people, and the American people as well, when you said that you would defend Israel, the only Democratic state in the Middle East, against all their enemies. You have done just the opposite. You have propagandized Israel, until they look like they are everyone's enemy — and it has resonated throughout the world. You are putting Israel in harm's way, and you have promoted anti-Semitism throughout the world.

You have brought this to a people who have given the world the Ten Commandments and most laws we live by today. The Jewish people have given the world our greatest scientists and philosophers, and the cures for many diseases, and now you play a very dangerous game so you can look like a true martyr to what you see and say are the underdogs. But the underdogs you defend are murderers and criminals who want Israel eradicated.

You have brought to Arizona a civil war, once again defending the criminals and illegals, creating a meltdown for good, loyal, law-abiding citizens. Your destruction of this country may never be remedied, and we may never recover. I pray to God you stop, and I hope the people in this great country realize your agenda is not for the betterment of mankind, but for the betterment of your politics.

With heartfelt and deep concern for America and Israel,

Jon Voight
