Let me start by stating right off that I do not wish ill on anyone in California, I think what is happening to the people there is a travesty. With that being said, I am sick and tires of having my hard earned tax dollars sent to California every year because of these wild fires.
These fires could be greatly reduced if not altogether eliminated by the use of control burns to burn up the dead underbrush and vegetation. The voters and the state congress has elected to stop control burns in that state which causes the buildup of dead vegetation. Once this vegetation catches fire, it turns into these monster fires that we are seeing year after year.
When are the people of California going to wake up and tell the environmentalist to go jump in a lake. The real Californians need to take back their state and demand that their politicians reinstate the controlled burns. Only then will California save itself from the yearly fires that ravage the state and the homes of the people who live there. Only then will my tax dollars actually go for something like roads, national defense or other infrastructure in which it was intended. My tax dollars were never meant to be used to save the people of California from their own stupidity.
As always, I look forward to your responses. Earl

Earl For President
I was sitting here thinking about the upcoming election and had the question, What if I wanted to be president? What platform would I run on? What would the answers to the questions that are on the minds of Americans be? Well, below I will speak of just that. I am not saying that I want to be president, I am saying is if I were running. these would be the things that I would be concerned with. I hope this causes others to look at these questions and answer them according to their belief structure and then vote for the candidate that has views most like theirs.
First question, What is your stand on the war?
Answer- I am a firm believer that we are in a war for our very survival. I think that Americans need to realize that the enemy that we are fighting has no conscious, has no willingness to come to agreements. Their sole purpose is to destroy us and Israel. There can be no appeasement. If there is a complaint that I have, it is with the way this war is being fought. We need to fight this war to win it, not just to not lose it. We need to employ every weapon in our arsenal and some that have yet to be fielded. We must quit trying to win the hearts of the worlds people while at the same time trying to win this war. We are not loved around the world, get used to it. Win the war and let world opinion be what it will. Let history be our judge, not the world stage. Enough said.
Second question, What is your stand in the Abortion Issue?
Answer- My answer to that is that the decision in Roe vs. Wade was an incorrect decision based on the information that the courts had at the time. Science has evolved since that decision and has concluded through many different methods that life does indeed start at conception. They have photos of babies playing inside of the mothers womb. I think that they need to revisit that case and use the new information that is available. I think we would see an immediate reversal of that decision based on new evidence submitted. On a personal note. I am very pro-life and do not apologize for my stance. When I meet my maker, my soul will be clean when it comes to this particular subject.
Third question, How would you tackle the Illegal Immigration problem in America?
Answer- The first thing we have to do is acknowledge that we have an Illegal Immigration problem, once we acknowledge it, we can start repairing it. My plan is simple. Build the fence that the American People have stated they want. We do not do anything about the ones that are already here until we stop the flow of Illegals into the country. Once we have stopped the flow, we can then start the process of sending the Illegal Immigrants back to their home countries. I do not accept the fact that this is too big of a problem to handle or that it is not cost effective to send them back. I am totally against any Amnesty Bill, Period. There will be no Amnesty for people breaking our laws and living in the shadows. If they are found, they will be deported, period. IF you are a business and you are hiring Illegals once the Identification process is put into place, you will be put out of business. There will be no second chances, there will be no fines levied against you, there will be no apologies. You will be shut down, Period!!! We need to take back control of our country and I do not care how much I P.O. the president of Mexico or any other countries for that matter. This is the United States of America, and that is what we are going to stay. Those of you who do not like this country, leave. There are plenty of people who want to live here legally and we really do not want anyone here who does not want to be here.
Fourth question, What is you stance on God when it comes to the Government?
Answer- I was hoping this would come up. I want to dispel a myth right now. There is not separation of church and state in the constitution. What the constitution states is that there will be no government sponsored religion. What does this mean? It means that the government cannot tell you that if you are an American that you will be Catholic, or Christian , or Baptist or whatever. It means that you have the right to practice whatever religion you wish as long as it is peaceful and does not infringe on the rights of others to practice their religion. This rule in the constitution has been so misused that frankly, it makes me sick. If I want to pray to my god in the Oval Office, then that is my right. Our forefathers established this country with the idea that god Must be included if this country was to succeed. We are a god fearing people who have had our country hijacked from us from some groups with deep pockets. If I am elected into office, I am going to rescind the order stating that there will be no prayer in school, I am also going to reestablish the pledge of allegiance in the schools. We need to get back to the time when we were proud of being Americans and proud of having god as our foundation. When we get these things back into the hearts of our children, our country will again see prosperity like it never has. We have turned our backs on god, can we really blame god if he turns his back on us? I think not!!
Fifth question, What would you do to improve our economy?
Answer-I would continue the tax cuts that President Bush has instituted, making them permanent. I would eliminate the Estate tax (also known as the death tax). I would implement a plan that would encourage businesses to keep their businesses here rather than move them overseas. I would do this through tax incentives. Companies move their business to other countries because they can get better tax breaks and those countries are more friendly towards business. We need to get back to that, we were after all, the first to do this. I would introduce to the congress a tax reform system that is fair to all persons in our country. I would introduce the flat tax system. This would eliminate the need for the IRS in its present form. We would no longer need to do tax filing at the end of the year. This would bring a large influx of cash into the government coffers that could be used to pay down our debt to the rest of the world.
Sixth question, What would you do about our dependency on foreign oil?
Answer-I would first allow our oil companies to start drilling in Alaska and off of our coast. I would further order that five new oil refineries be authorized for immediate building. The big environmental lobbiest would just have to get mad and start throwing mud my way, we will become self reliant again. I would also give great tax incentives to get our auto makers motivated to increase spending on alternative fuels, possibly hydrogen. I know that our people are the most industrialist in the world, we just need to get back the motivation to do it again. We have become a country of consumers and we need to start making things again. I would also challenge our auto industries to find ways to increase MPG on the vehicles of the immediate future until we can implement new alternative fuels. I would also ask the auto industries to possibly come up with a way to convert present automobiles to the new fuel source that would not cost the consumer an arm and a leg. I do not believe that there is anything that we cannot do, I only believe that we have to have the attitude that we must.
Seventh question, What is your plan for the continuation of our present entitlement programs?
Answer- I would take a serious look at all the entitlement programs and start eliminating them from the most dangerous on up. What do I mean by dangerous? I mean that there are entitlement programs that only result in people becoming lazy and dependent on the government for that particular item. Let's take Welfare for instance. We have families who have been on welfare for generations, this would stop. I would offer up a reform for welfare that would disqualify anyone who did not work from receiving it. I think that welfare should be for people who are working but are making under the poverty mark. These people would be given what amounts to a subsidy to help them reach the poverty mark. It is the governments responsibility to give your the opportunity to pursue happiness, not give it to you. Welfare subsidy would be a limited item that would allow people the chance to increase their education so that they may pursue a higher paying job. The way the system is now, people are rewarded for not having a job, no wonder they have been on the roles for so long. Why would you go find work if you can make just as much not working. Doesn't make sense to me.
Eighth question, how would you protect our country both now and in the future?
Answer- Right after I am elected President I am going to submit a Proposal the the congress that would mandate that all men and women graduating from high school would be required to serve a minimum of three years in the branch of military of their choice. I feel this is necessary not only to have our ranks filled with the most intelligent men and women in our country, but also so that we can start to accumulate a inactive reserve force that could be called upon in instances like we are in now. We now have soldiers that have and are presently serving multiple tours of service in multiple combat areas. This is unacceptable! Our soldiers need to know that there will be people in the ranks that are going to be able to relieve them once they complete their tour in a combat area. This is not to say that soldiers would not serve more than one tour in combat, but it would give them the opportunity to have longer peaceful deployments before returning to a combat zone. In addition, there would be a large contingent of trained military people in our civilian base that could and would have the ability to respond to any threat that might occur on our own soil. I feel that this is very necessary for our country because with all the forces lining up against us, it is only a matter of time before someone tries to make a large scale attack on our soil. We would have the civilian military available to counter this possible attack until the regular military could take over. I feel that this is very necessary for our survival. I would also recommend that we increase military spending for our soldiers, their families and for research and development of new weapon systems that would be able to carry us into the future with ease of mind of our capabilities. I would further request that the congress reactivate a number of the Carrier Battle Groups that have been mothballed in the past decades until such time as newer, more powerful Battle Groups can be brought online. We also need to update our Air force. Our planes have been used and abused in the past decade with the different wars that we have been involved in, we need to get the newest fighters and bombers online as soon as possible and rotate the older planes to the Guard and Reserve units until we can give them newer planes also. Remember, it is the governments primary purpose to protect our people and our country. If the government is going to be spending billions of dollars, let it spend it in the defense of our nation. And before anyone accuses me of being a warmonger, let me remind everyone that I have a son in the Marines and I also have grandchildren. I do not want my son to die any more than any of you, But I also understand that freedom isn't free, someone has to pay the price so the rest of us can live in peace. That price is blood, both in training and in war.
Ninth question. What would you do about Global Warming?
Answer- Nothing!! I do believe that there is global warming happening, I just don't believe that humans are the cause of it. I know that Al Gore has stated that the argument is over concerning this issue, but I beg to differ. There is enough scientist who have just as convincing of an argument that this is just another of the earths cycles. I also would like to know what could we as a nation really do to stop it. Lets start with the idea of shutting down 15 or 20 coal mines in the next twenty years that has be proposed by a member of congress. How on earth is this going to help when the Chinese are opening coal plants at a rate of one every two weeks. How long before they totally destroy what very little progress would be made by shutting down ours. I know there are critics out there that say that we could get China to go along with us, Not so! There population is so large that they need not only the coal that those plants will produce, but also the jobs that they would produce also. No, I feel that this is just another way for foreign governments to get another foothold in our countries economy. If we really want to help with the environment, we should start allowing the building and production of Nuclear energy. This is the cleanest and safest energy at our disposal outside of water. There has been very limited instances of hazards related to Nuclear energy. People are going to scream about 3 mile Island! Let me remind you that the containment system that was put in place just for that purpose worked just as it was supposed to. There were no deaths associated with that incident. Then they will bring up Chernobyl. Let me remind everyone that that was in Russia, at a time when we in a cold war with that country and they were not able to contribute as much money that was needed for the containment systems. Not only that, but look at how long ago that particular incident happened. We are the most technological advanced society on the planet, don't you think that our nuclear technology has far surpassed what it was 20 years ago. There is no reason why we cannot have our primary source of electricity be Nuclear. WE also need to be committed to it's use. What do I mean by that? I mean that once the world recognizes that we are serious about getting off of foreign oil, they are going to drop the price dramatically so that it would be cheaper for us to purchase it than continue with the Nuclear energy production. We need to be fully committed to it's use and not fall for the price cuts again as we did in the 70's. Let us pay the additional costs in the short term until we are able to cut our reliance on oil. A little pain now will make all the difference later.
Tenth question, How will you fix the Social Security crises?
Answer- Let me start by making a statement prior to the answer. I would remind everyone that there was a time when there was a third word in the phrase "Social Security", that third word was Insurance. Social Security Insurance was never intended to be a retirement plan, it was Insurance against living too long. Through the years, Social Security has dropped the Insurance part of the phrase and the program has grown to what it is now. With that being said, let discuss how we are going to fix the program that is going to be only getting worse as the Baby Boomers reach retirement age and want the money they have been promised. I feel the solution is two fold. One, let those who want to take responsibility for part of the money do so. I think that we should let people have a certain percentage of the money they have earned to invest as they see fit. There is a chance of course that these people will not be fruitful in their investments, that is why I do not condone giving them all the money they have accumulated.
Two, we need to stop borrowing from the Social Security plan to pay for other programs and start repaying the money we have taken from it. We also need to bring in some private investor firms that have proven themselves capable of producing large profits for their clients. We need to hire them to invest the accumulation of money from Social Security so that there will be enough to fulfil our promises to the American people. We also need to quit this stuff about letting the Illegal Immigrants who have been in this country get Social Security. This is the dumbest idea I have heard of. We are going to take a plan that by best estimates will be bankrupt by 2016 and influx another 12 Million people into it. I don't think so!! The Legal Immigrants that have paid into the program for the same amount of time that the American People have to will be entitled to the same benefits, no body else!!
Ending Statement- Have you noticed that in all my answers I did not rely on the government to solve any of the problems that we are facing today. We live in a capitalistic society and as such, we need to let capitalism find the solution for our problems. I have tried to demonstrate here that it is not the government who will get us back on track with the constitution, but the people. I think that the government has gotten way too large for it to be of any benefit to the people, we need to find ways to eliminate the abusive spending machine that our government has turned into. I also think that in order to continue to be the worlds greatest superpower, we need to make our policies and decisions clear to the rest of the world. As it is now, we say one thing and do others. This practice only makes up look weak and hypocritical in the eyes of the world. We need to say what we mean, and mean what we say!! At one time the world feared us because we stood for something other than money, we stood for our principles. Let us get back to that point, let the world fear and respect the greatest country in the world. The United States of America!!
One additional point, I am not foolish enough to think that my ideas are going to be welcomed by everyone in our country. There is too much money at stake. If the American people like what I have presented here and decide that I am to be their next presidency, I do not expect that I would live to see the end of my first term. I am willing to accept that fact for the better good of my country. My family know my view and understands my commitment. MY only promise to the American people that I will make is that everything I will do will be it this country's best interest. But, remember, I as presidency have only limited power to implement these ideas. If people want these changes, they are going to have to elect others in the House of Representatives and the Senate who share these ideas. As I am standing here speaking right now, I assure you that there are already plans being drawn up in case I am elected, to fight these initiatives from day one. I will do everything in my power to fulfill these ideas, but it is every Americans responsibility to help by voting for those who are like minded. Good night and God Bless.
Talk to you soon, Earl

I am willing to accept that fact for the better good of my country. My family know my view and understands my commitment. MY only promise to the American people that I will make is that everything I will do will be it this country's best interest. But, remember, I as presidency have only limited power to implement these ideas. If people want these changes, they are going to have to elect others in the House of Representatives and the Senate who share these ideas. As I am standing here speaking right now, I assure you that there are already plans being drawn up in case I am elected, to fight these initiatives from day one. I will do everything in my power to fulfill these ideas, but it is every Americans responsibility to help by voting for those who are like minded. Good night and God Bless.

Political Correctness
Today I would like to address the growing and seemable unstoppable progression of Political Correctness.
There is a growing trend in this country to try and appease everyone and every group, this appeasement is called Political Correctness, and it has to stop. If we do not stop this trend, we are and will continue to be on our way to Socialism.
The most recent event that I am calling to attention is the Illegal Immigration stance of the P.C. police's stance to try and make something that is lawfully Illegal into something Legal. By trying to rename the problem of Illegal Immigration to "Undocumented Workers" they are taking the term Illegal out of the equation. Remember, those who control the language control the argument. We need to keep on the politicians to keep the terminology the same and to fight and enforce our laws that are more than sufficient to correct this problem, if they have the guts to enforce them. Immigration overhaul is not needed, enforcement of our current laws, is.
The P.C. police will try and define you as the following if you try and make a stand to keep our constitution intact. Here are some of the terms that the P.C. police will label you if you go against them.
On the subject of Universal Health care, if you are for free markets and Capitalism and believe that everyone is capable of getting coverage as long as they are willing to pay for it, the P.C. police will label you as a "Child Hater" stating that only a child hating, hate monger would want to keep children from getting health care. What they do not tell you is that health care is already available for anyone who goes to the hospital. It is already illegal for a hospital to turn you away just because you do not have health care coverage. And to go back for a moment to the paragraph above, even illegals can receive health care at hospitals. To test this, just go to your local emergency room and look around.
If you believe that the United States has the best way of life and that you believe that we have an obligation to help others become free of dictatorships and socialism, than you are labeled a "Warmonger", only wanting to conquer other countries and take over the world. What the P.C. police will not tell you, nor do they want you to know, is that the United States has never kept the land that we have won in combat, we have always given the land back and helped them to not only rebuild their country but improve their way of life. We have been and continue to be the example of the world and anyone who disagrees is invited to leave.
Something that is more close to the home for most of you is the raising of your children. Most of you do not know what they are teaching your children in school, and if you did, you would be shocked. The present P.C. action is for children NOT to be evaluated on the basis of their academics, but on their potential. Do you understand what that means? That means that the P.C. police do not want your children to be graded on a pass-fail process that determines where a child is positioned in his-her academic growth, they want ALL children to feel good about themselves even if they have no reason to feel that way. The P.C. police object to the idea of having equivalency exams in the schools, they would prefer and have in fact tried to have it made into law that children be judged on their possible potential, not their true potential through evaluation. This would mean that ALL children would pass their grades even though they may not have earned it. OH MY, Did I say Earn It? Oh how the P.C. police must be steaming at that statement.
Let approach sports! Did you know their are many schools that have already caved to the P.C. police when it comes to sports. There are schools for example that have outlawed the game of dodge ball because it causes children to feel bad about themselves when they are eliminated. Don't believe me, look it up!! Then lets talk about football. There are schools that have eliminated their football teams as well as any other competitive sports from their curriculum because they do not believe in children FEELING like losers when they do not Earn the right to call themselves Winners. This is too hard on their little minds, the harsh reality that they must earn the right to call themselves winners just isn't right in the P.C. police's minds.
I could go on and on but I am sure you get the jest of it. Our whole way of life is under attack and we just keep on appeasing because we do not want to be title by the P.C. police. Well, Label me, go ahead, start applying labels, my shoulders are big enough to handle it. Let us get together and start fighting back against this assault. We need to stay united in our beliefs, do not let these people win or our rights will be forever forsaken.
Remember, for evil to win, all that needs to happen is for good men and women to do nothing.

The U.N.
I have a question to ask. Does anyone know what the U.N. is good for? This is a serious question and I for one would like an answer to it!
The most recent B.S. that the U.N. has done is give Iran a two month extension on the sanctions that were voted on and agreed on. This means that Iran has two more months to continue it's progress on the development of Nuclear Weapons. When are we going to take the country and it's leadership seriously? Also, when are we, the U.S. going to stand up to the U.N. and say we are no longer going to be part of your collection of Thugs and criminals.
I say this after Another U.N. refusal to enforce sanctions which have already been voted on and agreed upon by it's members. The U.N. is nothing other than an organization for dictatorships and countries opposed to the United States to get together with an air of legitimacy. I tell you, this is no respectable organization, and we as the United States should distance ourselves from it. Not only that, we should tell the U.N. that they are no longer welcome in the United States and the the building that the U.N. is now occupying will be destroyed within one month. That gives them plenty of time to find a new home, maybe in Iran, and move their "Organization" there. We do not want them, nor do we need them. I say good ridden to bad luggage.
Just a couple of things that the U.N. had been involved in recently that makes me come to this decision, which I actually came to some time ago. The most recent is the continued appeasal of Iran and the continued delay that have been allowed to happen with this organization at the helm. The longer we allow Iran to proceed with it's Nuclear program the less time there is going to be to respond when the time comes. Make no mistake, Iran has already stated that it wants to destroy Israel and the United States. When Iran has the capability to produce weapons grade plutonium, it will be too late to strike. While their plant is still in the stage of development we have a chance, when it is making Plutonium, we can no longer attack the plant due to the very real possibility of the spread of fallout from the reactor. We need to act now to make sure that they never have the ability to strike Israel, nor the United States for that matter.
Two, the Oil for Food program that ended up being a Oil for Profit for the U.N. program. The key players in this fiasco were Russia, France, and Germany. Do you remember these countries names from somewhere? Let me remind you, they are the three major countries that were vehemently opposed to the United States declaring war on Iraq. Oh yes, and they all three are members of the U.N. Sort of makes you wonder what is really the ultimate plan of the U.N. is doesn't it. These three countries along with the leadership of the U.N. were directly involved in the scandal that has been washed under the U.N. building, this is a corrupt organization that we really need to distance ourselves from.
Third, there has Never been a proposal that the United States has gone to the U.N. for that has been voted for, in every instance the vote has been against us and we have had to make deals with it's members to get them to go along with us. Is this what we call a coalition of friendly countries or is this a coalition of countries trying to blackmail the most powerful country in the world for their own gains. I leave that judgement to each of you.
My personal view of what the sole purpose of the U.N. is as follows. I think they are only assembled for the purpose of preventing the United States from securing itself. I think that they only exist to prohibit or delay the actions our country sees as vital to it's national interest. I think their only purpose is to weaken us to the point where we are subject to attacks from a multiple of directions. Did you also know that most of the members of the U.N. are anti-Israel? In every instance where Israel defended herself after first being attacked, the U.N. has come out with a condemnation of their actions. How can an organization that says it is for the right of every nation to have equal footing in the same breath condemn Israel for defending herself. The Hypocrisy is laughable.
The United States needs to pull out of the U.N. immediately and evict all those countries with offices in that building. We need to stay vigilant in our defense of Israel and our defense of ourselves. If the U.N. and the countries that are members of this terrorist organization are upset by this action, TOO BAD!!! We are the most powerful country on the planet and we can only be defeated by defeating ourselves. Let us stand united and say to the world that our country is special and was designed by Davine Guidance. Let us say we will never cower to the will of these other countries whose only purpose is the downfall of our beloved country.
