We in California are about to confirm whether we have Statesmen for Senators or just lowbrow politicians.

Kudos to my very intelligent friend Andy Anderson who asked that this timely topic be discussed, and contributed significantly to this commentary.

 Let’s take a moment and look back at what our Founding Fathers said about U.S. Senators. Our Founders stated clearly that the States were to remain sovereign, and that the Federal Government was to play a smaller role in the States’ affairs. They knew what a big central government would do with the power. They established that the Senators from each State will be appointed by the legislature of each State, thus assume their loyalty to the State. The Senators’ proper role was to go to Washington D.C. and protect their States’ security and sovereignty foremost from the abuses of federal authority. They were not to be seduced or threatened by influences originating out of Washington. If they failed in this rule, they were replaced.

In 1913, a federal onslaught took place in our Country. Federal Reserve banking was established, the Internal Revenue Service was created, and our Senators were voted into office by popular vote. Just ask yourself – what have our Senators done lately to protect California’s sovereignty and security from an overreaching federal government, which has become paramount and the States have become subservient, and our Forefathers opposed and predicted that situation?

Now come Senators Feinstein and Boxer. Senators – are you going ignore our government’s appeal to vote no on this universal healthcare Bill because it would add billions more to our State’s debt? If you vote yes, it will be clear that you are not the least bit interested in the sovereignty, security, and wellbeing of the citizens of California. So, we shall soon see whether or not you are just two more lowbrow politicians we sent back to Washington at our expense.

My afterthoughts:

 It is time for Feinstein and Boxer to be voted out! They have served too long, are too entrenched, and it is time for two fresh new Senators who will listen to The People of California. The same goes for Representative Sam Farr, who during local hearings on this healthcare last summer did let We the People speak, but prefaced every speaker with his own remark by stating "I’m voting for it." He doesn’t get it either. He is supposed to represent us, The People, not himself.

So much for term limits, a topic most Senators would rather never discuss. They like to make a lifetime career out of serving as Senators. They give themselves excellent salaries plus superior healthcare, much better than what they are planning for the rest of us, they have probably a car, an office, and no doubt other perks, and they voted themselves several years ago pensions for themselves and pensions for their spouses, which was totally unacceptable and inappropriate, and no doubt those pensions still exist.

With such an interesting and lucrative job, why would any Congressperson want term limits? And why do We the People allow our Congress to set their own salaries. We should have a citizens committee for that chore.

The following is a KSCO commentary. Here is Kay Zwerling:

 

Thank you Gene Sanden for this timely prayer from the heart. I changed the end to acknowledge Almighty God. Because I am Jewish, I believe there is only one God; however, I still love Jesus, a very special human, because he taught the world about love, to love one another. Such wisdom, and if we listened, the world would be a better place.

And now the prayer.

Lord, I just want to say thank you because this morning I woke up and knew where my children were; because this morning my home was still standing; because this morning I am not crying because my child, my brother or sister needs to be removed from underneath a pile of concrete; because this morning I was able to drink a glass of water; because this morning I was able to turn on the lights; because this morning I was able to take a shower; because this morning I was not planning a funeral, but most of all I thank you this morning because I still have life and a voice to cry out for the people of Haiti.

Lord, I cry out to You, the One who makes the impossible possible; the One who turns darkness into light; I cry out that You give those mothers strength; that You give them peace that surpasses all understanding; that You may open the streets so that help can come quickly; that You may provide doctors, nurses, food, water, and all that they need in the blink of an eye. For all those who have lost family members, give them peace, give them hope, and give them courage, and continue to go on. Protect the children and shield them with Your power. I pray all this Almighty

God in Your name.

And now, also from Gene, this interesting suggestion:

It is an idea for Haiti’s government. I heard on the news that Haiti is without a government. To help them out, let us donate to them Obama, one Pelosi, one Reid, one Frank, one Coakley, and two Clintons. They can keep them permanently. We can give them a Constitution, but we cannot find it easily right now. Now, isn’t that a great idea?

 

P.S. – About my recent mention of another Court case, re the Obama birth certificate, it was dismissed. It was an old story. Sorry. My mistake. Mia Culpa.

However, along with many other Americans, why do I have this lingering feeling that this story is not yet finished?

  The following is a KSCO commentary. Here is Kay Zwerling:

  Let us call this "We may have an American Judge who will not be bullied. Pray for him."

  In the recent past, numerous Americans have attempted to file lawsuits to determine whether Barack Obama is a citizen of our Country. He has repeatedly refused to expose his birth certificate, and claims he was born in Hawaii.

  The media, which protects the President, rarely prints anything derogatory or negative about him.

  Evidently no Court agreed to hear this case until now.

  Judge David Carter, of Federal Court in Santa Ana, just agreed to hear this case and expedited the date to this coming Tuesday, January 26. Many concerned Veterans and citizens attended the hearing in Federal Court in Santa Ana in the lawsuit against Barack Obama to determine his eligibility to be President and Commander in Chief. About 150 people showed up, almost all in support of the lawsuit, to demand that Obama release his birth certificate and other records that he has hidden from the American people.

  Judge David Carter refused to hear Obama’s Request for Dismissal. He indicated there was almost no chance this case would be dismissed. Obama is arguing this lawsuit was filed in the wrong Court. He would prefer a "kangaroo court" instead of a Federal Court. The Judge, who is a former U.S. Marine, repeated several times that this is a very serious case, which must be resolved quickly so that the troops know that their Commander in Chief is eligible to hold that position and issue lawful rules, or lawful orders, to our military in this time of war. He basically said, "Obama must prove his eligibility to the Court. Americans deserve to know the truth about their President."

   The two U.S. attorneys representing Barack Obama tried everything they could to sway the Judge that this case was frivolous, but Carter would have none of it, and cut them off several times. Obama’s attorneys left the Courtroom after a 90-minute hearing looking defeated and nervous.

   This is a great day in America for the U.S. Constitution. The truth about Obama’s eligibility may be known fairly soon – Judge Carter practically guaranteed it.

   Congratulations to Plaintiff’s attorney, Dr. Orly Taitz. She did a great job, and won some huge victories. She was fearless.

   P.S. – There are some rumors floating around that this hearing is canceled, but we cannot find any proof of that. It is confusing, therefore, we will go on with the assumption that the Court case will still be heard this Tuesday, January 26, in Santa Ana, California, Federal Court, with Judge David Carter presiding.

Despite the several compelling issues ready to be discussed, let just opt to remind ourselves early on in 2010, about things we should remember to make life better and happier for ourselves, our loved ones, and friends.

About HEALTH:

Drink plenty of water. Eat foods that grow on trees and plants.  Eat less food that is manufactured in plants.

Live with the three E’s: Energy, Enthusiasm, Empathy.  Make time to pray.  Play more games.

Read more books than you did in 2009.  Sit in silence for at least ten minutes everyday.

Sleep for seven hours.  Take a 10-30 minute walk daily. While you walk, smile.

Now on PERSONALITY:

Do not compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about!

Do not have negative thoughts of things you cannot control. Instead, invest your energy in the

positive present moment.  Do not overdo. Keep your limits.  Do not take yourself so seriously.  

No one else does!  Do not waste your precious energy on gossip.  Dream more while you are

awake.   Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need. Forget issues of the past.

Do not remind your partner of his or her mistakes of the past. That will ruin your present

happiness.  Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Do not hate others.  Make peace with

your past so it will not spoil your present.  No one is in charge of your happiness except you.

Realize that life is a school, and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum

that appear and fade away, but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.  Smile and laugh more.

You do not have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

 About SOCIETY:

Call your family often.  Each day give something good to others.  Forgive everyone for everything.

Spend time with people over the age of 70, and under the age of six.  Try to make at least three

people smile each day.  Whatever people think of you is none of your business.

Your job will not take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.

And finally, on LIFE:

Do the right thing.  Get rid of everything that is not useful, beautiful, or joyful.  Remember that

God heals everything!  However good or bad a situation is, it will change.  No matter how you

feel, get up, dress up, and show up.  The best is yet to come.  When you awake, arise in the

morning, thank God for it.  Your innermost is always happy, so be happy.

The following is a KSCO commentary. Here is Kay Zwerling: 

Many of these thoughts come from Dr. Geoffrey Hunt of the National Institute of Health. It is called "Another Failed Presidency", and one wonders how long Dr. Hunt can remain at NIH once the powers that be get wind of this condensed article. I will add some of my thoughts also.

 Barack Obama is on track to have the most failed Presidency since Woodrow Wilson. In the modern era, we have seen several failed Presidencies – led by Jimmy Carter and LBJ. Failed Presidents have one strong common trait – they are repudiated, in the vernacular, spit out.

 But, Barack Obama is failing. Failing big. Failing fast. And failing everywhere: foreign policy, domestic initiative, and most importantly in forging connections with the American people. He is failing because he has no understanding of the American people, and may indeed loathe them. He is failing because he has lost control of his message and is overexposed. And he lies easily and often, so he is no longer credible.

 But there is something more seriously wrong. How could a new President riding in on a wave of unprecedented promise and goodwill have forfeited his tenure and become a lame duck in six months? His poll ratings are in freefall. This truly is unbelievable.

Obama does not have a narrative. He has a self narrative, much of it fabricated, cleverly disguised, or written by someone else. But, this self narrative is isolated and does not connect with us.

We admire those Presidents whose narratives not only touch our own, but who seem stronger, wiser, and smarter than we are.

But not this President. He is cold and detached. It is not so much that he is a phony, knows nothing about economics, and is historically illiterate. His notions of right and wrong are repugnant, and how things work just do not add up. His descriptions of the world we live in just do not make sense.

I would like to add – he does not listen to the people who do not want government controlled healthcare. It for his personal accomplishment. This alone will lose him the Presidency.

Expect Obama to lament at his last press conference in 2012: "For those of you I offended, I apologize. For those of you who were not offended, you just didn’t give me enough time. If only I’d had a second term, I could have offended you, too."

Yes, small Presidents do fail, Obama among them.

To conclude:

Margaret Thatcher said "The trouble with socialism is sooner or later you run out of other peoples’ money."

We have heard that many times.

Here is another one "When you subsidize poverty and failure, you get more of both."

And here is another one "The more corrupt the State, the more it legislates."

And, finally, this was written by Unknown, also – "A liberal is a person who will give away everything s/he does not own."

The following is a KSCO commentary.  Here is Kay Zwerling: The title of this is “Israelis Baffled By News Of Defenseless U.S. Soldiers”.

It would be remiss to let this story go away without exposing the one simple reason why that tragedy had to happen.     Like a broken record, for many years – since Political Correctness was created by the foolish American Left, and spread quickly all over Europe  – in the early 1960s – I lamented the many wrong episodes that P.C. promoted.   Along comes my good friend, former Santa Cruz resident and KSCO talk host, Andy Anderson, who exposed for us what our own media either did not know or was too embarrassed to tell, and that is the following:

Many Israelis, and the rest of us, want to know, why didn’t the soldiers at Fort Hood attacked by the U.S. Army Major – turned terrorist – return fire?

When a Muslim goes Muslim in Israel, he is typically shot to death within seconds by someone for screaming “Allah Ahkbar” and shooting.

In contrast with the Israeli experience, it took ten minutes before a civilian police officer at Fort Hood was able to shoot and stop Muslim fanatic, Nidal Malik Hasan.

During those minutes, Hasan killed 13 soldiers, and shot and injured 30 others.       How could that happen?  How could so many people trained in the strategies and tactics of modern warfare be so defenseless?

The answer – and this may astonish many Americans – is that the victims were unarmed.  U.S. soldiers are not allowed to carry guns for personal protection, even on a 340-acre base quartering more than 50,000 troops.   Is this believable?

So it goes in brain-dead liberal America.  And, our current liberal President vigorously promotes that philosophy.     It is also liberal brain-dead to Mirandize enemies known to want to annihilate Americans.

Fort Hood is a gun-free zone, thanks to regulations adopted in one of the very first acts signed into law by anti-gun President Bill Clinton in March 1993.   Evidently that foolish barbaric law still exists.   Contrary to President Obama’s crocodile tears, his Administration is bent on further disarming the U.S. military and all Americans.   Obama and his people will not rest until every American is a sitting duck.

The upcoming trial turned circus in New York re the Guantanamo Bay criminals will further diminish our respect in our government’s judgment by the world who sees our leaders as unrealistic, weak, and impractical.   God help us!   For your information – Israeli teachers, from kindergarten on up, are also armed; so a Fort Hood type slaughter is highly unlikely at an Israeli school or university.   Israelis who have had to combat terrorism all their lives are not afraid of guns.  They are an armed people, ready, willing, and able to defend themselves and their Country. Unlike indoctrinated Americans, paralyzed by fear and Political Correctness, Israelis understand that people, not guns, kill people.  Put another way – guns never kill people – people kill people. Again, kudos to you Andy Anderson for this urgent clarification.

   While discussing the issue with my friend the other day, I think we have found the solution. I am sure you have heard the idea that if you are a senior you need to suck it up and give up the idea that you need any healthcare. A new hip? Unheard of. We simply cannot afford to take care of you anymore. You do not need any medications for your high blood pressure, diabetes, heart problems, etc. Let us take care of the young people. After all, they will be ruling the world very soon.

So, here is the solution. But remember, it is really facetious, and not for real.

 When you turn 70, you get a gun and three bullets. You are allowed to shoot one Senator and two Representatives. Of course, you will be sent to prison where you will get three meals a day, a roof over your head, and all the healthcare you need. New teeth? Great. Need glasses? No problem. Need a hip, knee, kidney, lungs, heart? Well, bring it on. 

And, who will be paying for all this? The same government that just told you that you are too old for healthcare. And, since you are a prisoner, you do not have to pay any income tax. How about that?

 And now, how about this little gem, which is for real, deep, and thoughtful. Thanks to Gene Sandan for this one, and many of the others he shared with our listeners, because they always struck an emotional or human note. This is called, you have to love this God Said No.

I asked God to take away my habit. He said No. It is not for Me to take away, it is for you to give it up.

I asked God to make my handicapped child whole. God said ?No. His spirit is whole, his body is only temporary.

So, I asked God to grant me patience. God said No. Patience is a byproduct of tribulations. It is not granted. It is learned.

I asked God to give me happiness. God said No. I give you blessings. Happiness is up to you.

So, I asked God to spare me pain. God said ?o. Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares, and brings you closer to Me.

I asked God to make my spirit grow. God said No. You must grow on your own, but I will prune you to make you fruitful.

So, I asked God for all things that I might enjoy life. God said No. I will give you life so that you may enjoy all things.

Then, I asked God to help me love others as much as He loves me. God said Ah, finally you have the idea. This day is yours. Don't throw it away.

To the world, you might be one person, but to one person you just might be the world. Good friends are like stars. We do not always see them, but you know they are there. For KSCO  this is Kay Zwerling.

Here is Kay Zwerling: Kudos to Oklahoma, whose citizens remember well that our State laws do supersede those created by our Federal government. Our current President either forgets we have a Constitution or does not care.There is nothing in the Constitution that states the Federal government can force universal healthcare with or without a public option. We have the Federal government run and dictate rules on universal healthcare, and arbitrarily steal $500 billion from Medicare, which we the seniors of the U.S. paid into and need for ourselves. That will not work. If the current Senate health Bill passes, it could be challenged as illegal. We the People should all stand together and refuse to purchase the insurance jammed or rammed through which automatically makes our Country socialist. It is time for all U.S. States to follow Oklahoma and assert themselves. Oklahoma recently passed a law, 37 to 9, and a few liberals were in the mix, and the law was an Amendment to place the Ten Commandments on the front entrance to the State Capital. The Feds in D.C., along with the ACLU, said ?Oh, that would be a mistake. You cannot do that. Guess what ? Oklahoma did it anyway. Several weeks ago, a law was passed declaring Oklahoma as a sovereign State, not under the Federal government directives, joining Texas, Montana, and Utah as the only other States to do so. More States are likely to follow: like, Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, the Carolinas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas, West Virginia, Mississippi, and Florida. The Federal government has made bold steps to take away our guns. Oklahoma, a week ago, passed a law stating that people in that State have the right to bear arms and transport them in their vehicles. I am sure that was a setback for the criminals and Obama-ites. Liberals did not like it, but ? guess what ? Oklahoma did it anyway. Just this month, Oklahoma has voted and passed a law that all drivers license examinations will be printed in English only, and no other language. They have been called racist for doing this, but the fact is that all of their road signs are in English only. If you want to drive in Oklahoma, you must read and write English. Really ? simple. By the way, the Attorney General does not like any of this. Guess what ? who cares? Oklahoma is doing it anyway. Just this month, Oklahoma voted and passed a law that all drivers license examinations will be printed in English only, and no other language. They have been called racist for doing this. But, the fact is, that all of their road signs are in English only. If you want to drive in Oklahoma, you must read and write English. Really ? it is simple. By the way, the Attorney General does not like any of this. Guess what ? who cares? Oklahoma is doing it anyway. Isn?t it really way past time for all the States to speak out and become assertive and proceed to do what our Federal Constitution says the States can do ? and tell Obama, Pelosi, and Reid to scratch the House and Senate universal healthcare Bills, and come up with something proper and simple created by both the Republicans and Democrats in Congress? Something that does not take up 2000 pages. Something that would take up maybe ten pages. A Bill of 2000 pages is in many ways dishonest because it is full of irrelevant provisions called earmarks, and lots of other bullpucky. Also, why didn?t Pelosi and Reid allow our Republican Representatives in Congress to have any input whatsoever in creating the healthcare Bill? Aren?t we supposed to be the United States, and not the Divided States? Let us speak out, because we are on the verge of losing our government as we know it. For KSCO, this is Kay Zwerling.
