R I P Dick Clark
When I was going to high school I rode the red
Arrow trolley with dick Clark ..he lived in
Drexelbrook and got on at that station..he was
Going to work as the host of American bandstand
In phila ..many times I saw him stand up and give
His seat to a lady..he was a real gentleman..once
I went on bandstand and danced to little richard's
First song "rip it up" and met dick Clark that
Day..he was very cordial & I'll never forget
That..watched his career soar over the years &
Hosting new years eve later..can't say enuf good
About him.. Condolences to his family & music
Friends ..he was "one of a kind"

GROWING UP IN THE 60'S WAS A TRAUMATIC TIME WATCHING TUMULTUOUS THINGS HAPPENING TO AMERICA THAT SHOOK MY VERY SOUL..VIETNAM WAR..TURMOIL IN WASH DC ..POLITICAL AND RACIAL UNREST..RADICAL BEHAVIOR
ON ALL LEVELS.. GROSS MURDERS AND HORRIBLE CRIMES..AND MOST OF ALL THE ADVENT OF DRUGS BIGTIME INTO OUR SOCIETY..
THE ONE STABILIZING THING TO ME ..EVERY SUNDAY MY MOM & DAD AND ME WATCHED MIKE WALLACE ON 60 MINUTES.HE WAS TOUGH YET FAIR..BUT VERY CONSISTENT AND HE WOULD "GET TO THE BOTTOM" OF THE STORY
AND EXPLAIN "WHY" THESE PEOPLE DID WHAT THEY DID ..IT HAD A CALMING EFFECT ON ME AND IT JUST
MADE SENSE OF MUCH OF THE CHAOS..HE WAS AN "INTERVIEWING GENIUS" AND TO MY KNOWLEDGE NEVER BACKED

HOW IMPORTANT IS NOV 2012 ELECTION? READ THIS
GOT THIS AS AN E MAIL TODAY..VERY FRIGHTENING & AT SAME TIME ENLIGHTENING:
OBITUARY:
In 1887 Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinburgh ,
had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years prior:
"A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent
form of government.
A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can
vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury.
From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the
most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally
collapse over loose fiscal policy, (which is) always followed by a dictatorship."
"The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has
been about 200 years.
During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence:
From bondage to spiritual faith;
From spiritual faith to great courage;
From courage to liberty;
From liberty to abundance;
From abundance to complacency;
From complacency to apathy;
From apathy to dependence;
From dependence back into bondage."
The Obituary follows:
Born 1776, Died 2012
It doesn't hurt to read this several times.
Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline University School of Law in St. Paul , Minnesota ,
points out some interesting facts concerning the last Presidential election:
Num ber of States won by: Obama: 19 McCain: 29
Square miles of land won by: Obama: 580,000 McCain: 2,427,000
Population of counties won by: Obama: 127 million McCain: 143 million
Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Obama: 13.2 McCain: 2.1
Professor Olson adds: "In aggregate, the map of the territory McCain won was
mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of the country.
Obama territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in low income
tenements and living off various forms of government welfare..."
Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the
"complacency and apathy" phase of Professor Tyler's definition of democracy,
with some forty percent of the nation's population already having reached
the "governmental dependency" phase.
If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal
invaders called illegal's - and they vote - then we can say goodbye to the
USA in fewer than five years.
ED NOTES:
1)DON'T LET ILLEGALS HAVE ANYTHING "FREE" AT ALL..SEND THEM BACK TO HOME COUNTRY
2)BALANCE THE BUDGET OR GET RID OF THOSE IN CONGRESS WHO DON'T
3)STOP ABUSING OUR BELOVED CONSTITUTION AND TRYING TO "BEND THE RULES"
4)MAKE SOCIAL SECURITY A "DECENT" AMOUNT TO BEGIN WITH SO SENIORS CAN LIVE NORMALLY
5)BAN COMMUNISM,SOCIALISM,NAZISM,AND AND COMMUNAL TYPE GOVERNMENT BY LAW..
6)IF YOU BURN OUR AMERICAN FLAG YOU COMMIT A TREASONABLE ACT SUBJECT TO FINE/IMPRISONMENT
STOP DESTROYING AMERICA ..THE GREATEST COUNTRY AND REPUBLIC EVER..ghengisjohn

PRES OBAMA ..THIS IS UN AMERICAN & WRONG
CONTRACTS TO BUILD BRIDGES IN AMERICA HAVE BEEN AWARDED TO CHINESE COMPANIES (MATERIALS AND LABOR)
WHILE AMERICA SUFFERS WITH 9% UNEMPLOYMENT..LOSS OF TAX REVENUE..MORE THAN 10,000 LABOR AND CONSTRUCTION JOBS..THIS IS TOTALLY WRONG..
Diane Sawyer reporting on U.S. bridge projects going to the Chinese.... NOT Americans.
The bridges are right here in the U.S. and yet Obama has approved for Chinese contractors to come
in and do the work. What about jobs for Americans???
Watch this video. It doesn't take long to view.
This one should be tough for the supporters of the current regime to swallow....AND it comes from ABC NEWS
U.S.A. Bridges and Roads Being Built by Chinese Firms
Shocking to say the least! This video is a jaw-dropper that will make you sick. (It was also shocking that ABC was actually reporting this story.)
The lead-in with Obama promising jobs in the U.S. by improving our infrastructure is so typical of all his promises! Our tax dollars are at work - for CHINA!!!
I pray all the unemployed see this and cast their votes accordingly in 2012!

I'M ROOTING & FIGHTING FOR AMERICA...ARE YOU?????

MEMO TO SUPREME COURT RE:OBAMACARE
DEAR MONSEUIR AND MADAME JUSTICES
I SOLD HEALTH INSURANCE FOR OVER 35 YEARS..THE MOST COMMON PROBLEMS WITH IT WERE AS FOLLOWS:
1)PRE EXISTING CONDITIONS SHOULD BE ELIMINATED
2)ALL HEALTH INSURANCE SHOULD BE PORTABLE(JOB TO JOB..STATE TO STATE) NO EXCEPTIONS
3)ALL POLICIES SHOULD HAVE MAJOR MEDICAL UP TO MAXIMUM AMOUNT
4)EVERYONE SHOULD PAY TOWARD THE COMBINED PREMIUM (GOV'T/EMPLOYER/INDIVIDUAL,STATE&CHARITIES)
5)IT SHOULD WORK THE SAME AS AUTO INSURANCE ..MAKE IT A STATE LAW TO HAVE IT BUT DO NOT
HAVE GOV'T OR STATE PAY 100% EVER AND DON'T MANDATE COVERAGE..IT'S UP TO INDIVIDUAL
TO NOT HAVE INSURANCE AND BREAK THE LAW (SAME AS AUTO INSURANCE)
6)NOBODY RIDES FOR "FREE"..NOBODY ..EVERYONE(INDIVIUAL) MUST PAY SOMETHING NO MATTER HOW SMALL
THE AMOUNT..
7)STOP "ALL" GRATUS OPERATIONS FOR ANYONE FROM A FOREIGN COUNTRY.. WE CAN'T AFFOED IT.. LET
THEIR COUNTRY PAY FOR THEM AND THEM PAY INTO THAT INSURANCE FUND..
8)EVERY SINGLE TYPE OF DISEASE,ADDICTION,ETC SHOULD BE COVERED UNLESS IT'S FROM ABUSE ..THEN NO
9)START A "HEALTH INSURANCE" FUND TO SHORE UP SMALL HEALTH INS COMPANIES AND STRUGGLING ONES
IF THEY ARE LIVING WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF THESE RULES BUT GET "OVERWHELMED" ..
10)HEALTH INSURANCE IS NOT A GIFT..IT IS A PRIVILEDGE AND SHOULD BE AVAILABLE TO ALL WHO ARE
WILLING TO PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE AND THAT MEANS "ALL" PARTIES (GOV'T/EMPLOYER/INDIVIDUAL/STATE/
&CHARITIES)
TRY THIS SYSTEM.. IT'S "NOT" A MANDATE BUT IT'S NEXT BEST THING AND IT WILL NOT ONLY HELP
ALL PARTIES BUT KEEP OUT CAPITALISTIC SYSTEM RUINNING FOR YEARS TO COME.. ghengisjohn

Over 27 times as fast. Metaphorically speaking, if you are driving in the right lane doing 65 MPH and a car rockets past you in the left lane.
27 times faster, it would be doing 1,755 MPH!

So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive? Can't think of anything? Don't worry. He's done all this in 29 months -- so you'll have one year to come up with an answer. Every statement in this email is factual and directly attributable to Barrack Hussein Obama. Every bumble is a matter of record and completely verifiable.
