No statement after that will appease the ‘True, and Living God.” Argue all you wish, God will visit the death angel on all who hold this view, first bringing chaos into their lives, making them as though hell were already their lot. Folks, God has already made that judgement on Americans because of their willingness to allow all Gods to dwell in their lands; therefore, famine, earthquake, fire, flood, pestilence, plague, war and rumours of wars and 911 have become the rule of each day, rather than righteousness, peace and joy. Listen to His word and be warned. Deuteronomy 6 13Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his name. 14Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which are round about you; 15(For the LORD thy God is a jealous God among you) lest the anger of the LORD thy God be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from off the face of the earth. 16Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God, as ye tempted him in Massah. 17Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath commanded thee. 18And thou shalt do that which is right and good in the sight of the LORD: that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and possess the good land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers. 19To cast out all thine enemies from before thee, as the LORD hath spoken. Does that sound as though God is pleased that the ‘Allah worshiping Muslim is dominate in our country. It simply isn’t so; and, that is why our nation is crumbling and our economy is collapsing. Continued on page 3 US POSTAGE $1.05 The Peoples Voice THE USA BIKE IS BROKEN My name is d’Lynn. I’m a disabled Vietnam vet. I don’t look too bad for a beat-up old vet, do I? And that’s my ride. She’s looking pretty good also, especially when you consider that she’ll turn twenty this summer. That’s right; it’s a 1990 with a 1990 sidecar. I can’t ride a solo bike, ergo the sidecar rig. It’s my sole means of transportation - rain or shine, snow or wind, and this summer also marks a milestone in both of our lives, as I will finally be able to pay her off. Twenty years old? What? Why did it take so long? You weren’t paying attention, were you? It’s right at the beginning of this paragraph. I am a disabled vet, which means I receive a veteran’s administration disability pension, which also means “I’m broke!” Just one step ahead of being homeless every month, and that’s not an idle statement or an “Oh, woe is me” dire complaint. There’s a point to this, so hang in there a minute or two and read on. There’s a 25-year-old illegal immigrant woman living in Florida , with eight kids. Yes, eight “anchor babies” and she receives just shy of $1,500 per month per kid, plus medical, plus food stamps. Oh, wait. I’ve been informed that I shouldn’t call them Food Stamps anymore. That’s not PC. It’s all called “Social Assistance” now. You do the math on that yourself. I’d say that she was schooled early in how to make it in the system. Twenty-five years old, eight kids . . . . . yep, she started early. You can whip out the calculator if you want, but this woman, who never has paid a dime in taxes of any SPOKESMEN USA NOW AVAILABLE BY MAIL kind, (and still doesn’t – she’s ‘illegal,’ remember?) is here in this country illegally. She hasn’t paid out one cent in medical for all the “anchor babies,” makes more in one month, legally, than I receive in over a year and a half in disability payments and I can’t even get food stamps! Oops, I mean “Social Assistance.” Technically I am eligible for “Social Assistance.” I was told it would be a walk through – a gimme being disabled. No problem, and in the very next breath I was also informed that under the law the amount I received in “Social Assistance” would be deducted from my disability pension. Let’s say I take a great photograph. It was just luck, a one of a kind accident, in the right place at the right time shot. My local newspaper offers me fifty bucks to use the photo in a featured story.

BE SURE TO FORWARD IT TO ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY THE SPOKESMEN 2 MEMORIES of Bettie Dossett “TRAIL NOTES” When I was on Grand Canyon’s North Rim, so many years ago you wouldn’t believe it if I told you , but, at that time, Transept Trail ran the full mile between the Camp Center and Grand Canyon Lodge. This foot trail provided a self-guided Nature Hike and was, I thought, worth anyone’s time, any hour of the day from early morning until late evening. It was an enchanting experience; a feeling of alone-ness with Nature; an escape, however brief one might make it, from the clamor of the world. Trees, shrubs, wild flowers and tall lush grasses grew along this Trail and profusely covered the North Rim. One was likely to see a squirrel scurry up a tree, a chipmunk run or a colorful horn toad hurry away. It wasn’t unusual to see a deer or two - perhaps a doe with her spotted fawn at her side. The Canyon is beautiful from any view point along that North Rim. Surely the Trail is still there but with the rapid pace at which change is occurring, who can guess; but the “self-guided nature hike” meant that there were placards, in appropriate places, offering botanical information, bits of philosophy, history and poetry. At one particular place a partially exposed row of stones suggested unexcavated Indian ruins and at another, one could look down to a white stone ledge and see ancient crumbling cliff dwellings. The Trail offered the beauty of rustic bridges; cool, moist, shadowy hollows and warm, bright, sunny hilltops. At the crest of one such rise there was a large hewn-log bench situated so that it was in partial or full shade, inviting one to rest and enjoy a cool breeze. Seated there, one could look out into vast depths, distances and realms of color. Seeming to be right on the very The Peoples Voice NEWT TELLS IT LIKE IT IS Newt Gingrich, July 21, 2010 6pm There should be no mosque near Ground Zero in New York so long as there are no churches or synagogues in Saudi Arabia. The time for double standards that allow Islamists to behave aggressively toward uswhile they demand our weakness and submission is over. The proposed “Cordoba House” overlooking the World Trade Center site – where a group of jihadists killed over 3000 Americans and destroyedone of our most famous landmarks - is a test of the timidity, passivity and historic ignorance of American elites. For example,most of them don’t understand that “Cordoba House” is a deliberately insulting term. It refers to Cordoba , Spain – the capital of Muslim conquerors who symbolized their victory over the Christian Spaniards by transforming a church there into the world’s third-largest mosquecomplex. Today, some of the Mosque’s backers insist this term is being used to”symbolize interfaith cooperation” when, in fact, every Islamist in the world recognizes Cordoba as a symbol of Islamic conquest. It is a sign of their contempt for Americans and their confidence in our historic ignorance that they would deliberately insult us this way. You can read about the history of the meaning of Cordoba at http:// www.andalucia.com/cities/cordoba/mosque2.htm Those Islamists and their apologists who argue for “religious toleration” are arrogantly dishonest. They ignore the fact that more than 100 mosques already exist in New York City . Meanwhile, there are no churches or synagogues in all of Saudi Arabia . In fact no Christian or Jew can even enter Mecca . And they lecture us about tolerance.If the people behind the Cordoba House were serious about religious toleration, they would be imploring the Saudis, as fellow Muslims, to immediately open up Mecca to all and immediately announce their intention to allow nonMuslim houses of worship in the Kingdom. They should be asked by the news media if they would be willing to lead such a campaign.We have not been able to rebuild the World Trade Center in nine years. Now we are being told a 13 story, $100 million megamosque will bebuilt within a year overlooking the site of the most devastating surprise attack in American history. Finally where is the money coming from? The people behind the CordobaHouse refuse to reveal all their funding sources.America is experiencing an Islamist cultural-political offensive designed to undermine and destroy our civilization. Sadly, too many ofour elites are the willing apologists for those who would destroy themi f they could. No mosque.No self deception.No surrender. The time to take a stand is now - at this site on this issue. Why can’t we have a President as intelligent, educated,and patriotic as this former Speaker of the House? edge were two huge pine trees, making an excellent frame for photographs of the Canyon from that point. Everything along that Trail is interesting but a favorite spot of mine was where a placard titled “The Eleventh Commandment” was posted; written by Doctor Walter C. Lowdermilk, it reads as follows: “Thou shalt inherit the holy earth as a faithful steward, conserving its resources and productivity from generation to generation. Thou shalt safeguard thy fields from soil erosion, thy living waters from drying up, thy forests from desolation, and protect thy hills from over-grazing by thy herds, that thy descendants may have abundance forever. If any shall fail in this stewardship of the land thy fruitful fields shall become sterile stony ground and wasting gullies, and thy descendants shall decrease and live in poverty or perish from off the face of the earth.” -Dr. Walter C. Lowdermilk NOTE: Dr. Lowdermilk died in the early ‘60’s but I had written to him for his permission to publish this in a periodical. He was a consultant in Soil Conservation with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.

I have to report that fifty dollars to the VA as earned income, which will immediately be deducted from my next month’s disability check. If I don’t report it I’m in violation of federal law and technically they can stop my disability pension and prosecute me under a federal felony. Pretty cool, eh, for fifty bucks? I see no point in dealing with two federal bureaucracies, so I don’t bother. What’s the point? She’s here illegally and with just one kid would make over twice what I receive per month. She has eight and she’s not a stand-out case. She’s not alone. That’s the way the system works. Millions of illegal immigrants know this, know how the system works and know how to use it. (Haven’t you seen the pamphlet? It’s handed out all along our borders, “The Illegal Immigrants’ Guide to Keeping America Just the Way It Is.”) and that’s just the way it works. Did you know that the federal government provides a “refugee” in this country with a monthly “stipend” of $1,890, plus $580 a month in “Social Assistance?” That’s $2,470 a month, tax-free. That’s two and a half times what I’m allowed to receive as a disabled vet. And just what did they do to earn this? All you have to do is show up on our collective doorstep, raise your right hand and swear that you’re a refugee and, bingo, receive $30,000 a year, tax-free. That’s more than someone making $15 an hour, and they have to pay taxes to boot! Now, in defense of the Veterans Administration, they are doing what they can with what they’ve got. This is precious little compared to what they should have to get the job done. At least this country has a VA. It’s the Senate that keeps passing laws, rules and guidelines, cutting their budget, denying requests for more staff and computer systems to handle the massive work flow. Their hands are tied by the very government that’s supposed to give them what they need to get the job done, by the government you voted into office. Don’t scream at the VA. I have. It’s misguided anger. I CREATED THE INTERNET The point to this “story,” just why are you paying such high taxes to support this incredibly screwed-up government? Why? And I’m not proposing you stop paying your taxes. That’s wrong. There are good programs and reasons to pay your taxes and support our government. What am I proposing? It’s quite simple. Vote!!! The government, our government, is broken and we as the voters serve as the maintenance crew. We fix it . . . . . by voting. If your state Senator has been in office more than two terms, vote ‘them out at the next election. If your state representative has been in office more than two terms, vote ‘them out of office. We put term limits on just about every publicly-elected official in the country except the House and Senate. Why? Believe me, they know this and love it! Ahhh - the power! I don’t care how much you believe, you’re Senator or Representative is doing a good job. They’re not! Look at the government you have....that we have. How can you state they are doing what you want as the voter that put them there? How? Vote them out of office. Do it. Change the course of this country’s history by what you are granted and guaranteed under the law. Vote! And if you have the guts, the anger, the outrage, start a petition in your state for a state-wide initiative to be placed on your next state ballot. Limiting the terms of office for your state senators and state representatives to your federal government to two terms The federal government will never pass such a law, but you can. You can get it done. You can force it. You can make it a law. This is the first step in “getting it right.” Just vote. It’s simple. It’s easy, damn it! This first step will send a very clear message. It’ll work. It’ will put “us” back in control of “them.” As it should be, as it was intended in the first place. Are you an American? Born and raised? Then vote!!! I CREATED 650,000 JOBS The Peoples Voice From Page 1 Allah God has spoken! It is happening before your eyes. It is time to wake up! It is time to cast out the enemy that worships false Gods. Our nation is Christian, but not for long. Do you really think that the Muslims will allow you to continue to worship Jesus Christ, once they are in actual, admitted, ‘visible’ control? Just since Obama (just one Muslim) took office there are no prayers offered from the dais or in the congressional chamber. Only moments of silence, during which the silent hope they can finish picking their nose while the silence lasts and not be caught with their finger up it. Additionally, major journalists are being called racist simply because they disagree with a Muslim president or an NAACP official. Do you really feel that we still live in the ‘land of the free’; or, do you feel captive, confused and oppressed? Is Arizona’s being forbidden to protect their borders from open invasion by armed drug lords, thugs and illegals truly an expression of American freedom? Obama is ready to sign into law a bill which will reduce social security benefits for all above age 70. Does this sound like America really cares for those who made it great? Are you happy with the three or four new disasters occurring every day; disastors that kill a few, up to hundreds or even thousands? Is aids, tuberculosis, salmonilla, lead poisoning, oil spill contaminated seafood, etc., etc. a product of incidental everyday life? NO! These are but a few of the effects of fellowshipping those who embrace false gods and entertaining those false gods within our land. “Freedom of religion,” you shout. What has it gotten you. It seemed a righteous thing to do; that is, until God ceased from patience and long suffering and turned satan loose. Loose on who? Loose on America. America who knew better. America, the Christian nation. America, worshippers of the true and living God. We should have constituted a Government free of religion. We should have constituted a ‘Christian’ people, without defining the term, ‘Christian” in our legal journals. We should have made it clear that those who were to dwell among us were to forsake all other God’s and accept Jesus Christ as Lord of all. Well, it is too late now. The damage is done. GOD IS ANGRY AND HIS WRATH AT HAND! Gore Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! WHO IS THE BIGGEST LAUGHING STOCK? Just look around you. If the fires, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, floods, pestilences,diseases, poisonings, tornadoes, wars hurricanes, terrorists, economy collapses, droughts, climate changes, famines and on and on, are not sufficient to convince you . . . . . THEN LET THE ALLAH WORSHIPING MUSLIMS remain among us. Then, you ain’t seen nothi’n yet! “How do we rid ourselves of them,” you ask? We get rid of their president, first. Then, we deport them any way we can. Then we fight - At least Armegeddon will have a valid reason for happening, won’t it.? Yes, this paper is anti-muslim. Now you know the reason why. - Editor, Wes Bush THE SPOKESMEN LIFE OWES YOU NOTHING Love him or hate him , he sure hits the nail on the head with this! Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school. He talks about how feelgood, politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world. Rule 1 : Life is not fair - get used to it! Rule 2 : The world doesn’t care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself. Rule 3 : You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won’t be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both. Rule 4 : If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss Rule 5 : Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents 4 had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity. Rule 6 : If you mess up, it’s not your parents’ fault , so don’t whine about your mistakes, learn from them. Rule 7 : Before you were born, your parents weren’t as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent’s generation, try delousing the closet in your own room. Rule 8 : Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they’ll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn’t bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life. Rule 9 : Life is not divided into semesters. You don’t get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time. Rule 10 : Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs. Rule 11 : Be nice to nerds. Chances are you’ll end up working for one. If you can read this -Thank a teacher! If you can read this in English thank a soldier!!! The line that grabbed me (in English (thank you soldiers was, “The chances are you will wind up working for me.” With his wealth, I would be surprised if we are not already. - Editor From: Eric Covos [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, September 06, 2010 2:04 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Letter to Editor The Peoples Voice Intimidated with thought of approaching God? Lifescope says, “You can be delivered from fear!” Now, when sins have once been forever forgiven and forgotten, there is no need to offer more sacrifices to get rid of them. And so, dear brothers, now we may walk right into the very Holy of Holies where God is, because of the blood of Jesus. This is the fresh, new, life-giving way which Christ has opened up for us by tearing the curtain - His human body - to let us into the holy presence of God. So let us come boldly to the very throne of God and stay there to receive His mercy and to find grace to help us in our times of need. Wait for the Lord’s help. Be strong and brave and wait for the Lord’s help. Yes, be bold and strong! Banish fear and doubt! For remember, the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. The wicked flee when no one is chasing them! But the godly are bold as lions! Through Christ, God made peace between us and Himself. And God gave us the work of bringing everyone into peace with Him. I mean that God was in Christ, making peace between the world and Himself. In Christ, God did not hold the world guilty of its sins. And He gave us this message of peace. Therefore we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. For He made Him Who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. I want to remind you to stir into flame the strength and boldness that is in you, that entered into you when I laid my hands upon your head and blessed you. For the Holy Spirit, God’s gift, does not want you to be afraid of people, but to be wise and strong, and to love them and enjoy being with them. If you will stir up this inner power, you will never be afraid to tell others about our Lord . . . [When the believers were being persecuted, the apostles prayed for boldness:] “. . . and now, O Lord, hear their threats, and grant to your servants great boldness in their preaching, and send Your healing power, and may miracles and wonders be done by the name of Your holy Servant Jesus.” After this prayer, the building where they were meeting shook and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and boldly preached God’s message.

THE SPOKESMEN 5 Editorial Comment: Many of you have religious beliefs that fault such practices as Yoga and Tai Chi. For that reason I fully expect to hear from some of you concerning the adjoining article. With that in mind I thought I should take advantage of the opportunity to request that you do something truly constructive. You see, it is one thing to criticize; it is another altogether, to instruct. Pray, and seek God’s mind concerning these and perhaps He will use you to give some instruction from His word. That is the kind of letter we are seeking from you. The ‘Truth’ will set us free. It is when we seek the mind of God that we come to the knowledge of the truth. For instance, were an Indian in some village so remote from missions that he had never heard the name of Jesus and had never had his faith in ‘The Great White Father’ challenged, to do a ‘rain dance’, would God hear his sincere prayer and grant him rain? Such an interesting question demands more than some glib, religious popycock for an answer. One of the things the Spokesmen seeks is the truth. Please give Yoga and Tai Chi a few moments of your time. Perhaps God would use you to enlighten us as to the benefits or detriments (if any) of either or both of them. God said in His written Word, “Call upon me and I WILL ANSWER.” I am asking you to call upon God. Listen to His answer and share His answer with a reading audience of more than 10,000.people who read the Spokesmen and many tens of thousands who get it through the internet via email - Editor The Peoples Voice How to Decrease Stress through Tai Chi & Yoga SUSAN M. POORE, RN, CNC, CPLC When we are stressed our bodies undergo a series of hormonal and biochemical changes. Chronic stress can put us in the “fight or flight” mode, which in turn increases our heart rate, while many body systems slow way down and do not function at their best. No one can avoid all stress, but we can return our bodies to a “homeostasis” state of balance through a variety of ways, including relaxation, exercise, deep breathing, meditation, Tai Chi and Yoga. Through that state of balance our bodies may allow any physical or emotional challenges to improve. Therefore incorporating one of these types of stress reducing exercises can impact your overall health. The Eastern practices of Tai Chi and Yoga are effective stress-reducing exercises that can be incorporated into your daily life. Tai Chi is a self-paced, non-competitive series of slow, gentle, flowing body movements. It was initially taught as a martial art during the 13th century, however, today it is practiced to condition the body, calm the mind and reduce stress. Tai Chi instructors will teach you to focus on your breathing and staying in the moment much like meditation. Tai Chi is low impact, so those having issues with joints do rather well. It is generally safe for people at any level of fitness. It can improve your 9TH AND Delaware Ave. Alamogordo, NM 88310 (575) 491-5036 balance and decrease the risk of falling. Other benefits range from slowing bone loss and helping relieve chronic pain. Yoga brings together your physical, mental and spiritual beliefs with the goal of reaching a state of wholeness and peace. Yoga is a Sanskrit word meaning “to unite. There are many forms of yoga depending on the instructors training and your preference. Yoga teaches you a series of poses as well as concentration techniques. The classes vary from beginners to advanced yoga techniques. The variety of poses are designed to balance your body, slow down your systems that are stressed and help you find peace. Attending a yoga studio or finding a private instructor will help you learn the position and breathing techniques.

I must say that I disagree with you, and I hope you will reconsider your position for the following reasons: · First, the Old Testament condones or commands us to do many things that are obviously immoral or depraved, including genocide (Deuteronomy 20), the rape or killing of innocent women (Numbers 16 and 31), the killing of innocent children (Numbers 16 and 31) and the killing of anyone who doesn’t accept the Judeo-Christian God (2 Chronicles 15). Obviously, the fact that the Bible says we should do these things doesn’t necessarily mean we should; instead, we need to ask ourselves whether such commands truly represent God’s just and loving nature. In my opinion, the mass killing of gay people clearly does not. · You stated that your position is justified because gay men engage in both oral and anal sex, which you find repulsive. This attitude reduces homosexuality to nothing more than sexual acts and disregards the intimacy, love and affection that committed gay couples share. It also ignores the fact that a significant number of heterosexuals (both men and women) engage in those very same activities. If you kill gay men for what they do, you will have to kill many heterosexuals as well. Are you sure you want to do that? · Scientific research (along with the testimony of gay people) increasingly demonstrates that being homosexual is not a choice and that gay men and lesbians can no more determine their sexual orientation than heterosexuals. Also, we know that nature consistently accepts homosexual behavior, since it has been Dear Doug, I do, without reservation. desire that all homosexual behavior be eradicated from our land. The reason is simple and must be considered from the viewpoint of what God has said; not from the ramblings of the carnal mind, which you have obviously used to rationalize that all such activities are now permissable. It behoves me to ask you a few questions right up front. 1. Do you believe in a soveriegn God? 2. Do you believe that He changed His mind between the Old Testament and the New? 3. If He did, then is it alright for me to rape your wife or to murder you. After all, “Thou shalt not kill” is Old Testament law, not New Testament grace. Or. perhaps we should keep a few of the Old Testament commandments and do away with some of the others. By the way, Doug, were you to have a wife, and I chose to rape her, would you see that as permissable under the New Covenant? I think not, since you have obviously disdained the rules of our God, who said, (Deuteronomy 20) “10 When thou comest nigh unto a city to fight against it, then proclaim peace unto it. 11And it shall be, if it make thee answer of peace, and open unto thee, then it shall be, that all the people that is found therein shall be tributaries unto thee, and they shall serve thee. 12And if it will make no peace with thee, but will make war against thee, then thou shalt besiege it: 13And when the LORD thy God hath delivered it into thine hands, thou shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword: 14But the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, even all the spoil thereof, shalt thou take unto thyself; and thou shalt eat the spoil of thine enemies, which the LORD thy God hath given thee. 15Thus shalt thou do unto all the cities which are very far off from thee, which are not of the cities of these nations. Doug, God did not order that the women be ravaged. Without husbands they were now free to marry again, and their children free to be adopted. And He said that they should use the ‘spoil’, the cattle and all that was in the city. 28And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that the LORD hath sent me to do all these works; for I have not done them of mine own mind. 29If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men; then the LORD hath not sent me. 30But if the LORD make a new thing, and the earth open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain unto them, and they go down quick into the pit; then ye shall understand that these men have provoked the LORD. 31And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground clave asunder that was under them: 32And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods. 33They, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed upon them: and they perished from among the congregation. 34And all Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of them: for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up also. 35And there came out a fire from the LORD, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense. As for me and my house, I will choose to avoid any thing that pertains to, resembles or otherwise has anything The Peoples Voice documented in hundreds of non-human species throughout the world (check it out on the internet). For these reasons, it is incorrect to believe that having a homosexual orientation is unnatural, abnormal or an “abomination” in God’s eyes. · Since gay men and lesbians are human beings as well as citizens of our country, they have the same rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness that everyone else has. They are entitled to live their lives as they see fit, just like heterosexuals, without being harassed or punished for it, and certainly without being killed. In my opinion, wanting to eradicate other people because they don’t adhere to our religious views or otherwise are different from us, or thinking that God wants us to eradicate them, is absolutely wrong. It’s a sure indication that we have lost our moral compass and that we need to stop and reconsider our beliefs. I hope very much that you will do that. Sincerely, Doug to do with homosexuality, lesbianism or beastiality. I certainly don’t want to suffer the consequences deliniated in the foregoing scripture; nor do I want to see our country suffer such. As to the fact that some hetrosexuals also engage in oral and anal sex, you are right. Those who indulge either premarital sex, or ‘marital fornication’ (sex born of lust rather than love) are often guilty of the same sins that gays are guilty of; but, does that make it right? They, too, shall suffer the wrath of God’s judgement. 9Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God Doug, when I was a child, the law of our land would have punished all gays for the practices that you have admitted they indulge. That I find these practices repulsive should not be a surprise . . . . . They are ‘UNCLEAN.’! It is futile to belabour the point. Either you believe God’s Word (as it is written) or you don’t. In the instance of the scriptures I have cited, even a six year old child, (in innocence) can easily determine the course of action God intended. I fear that is not so with those who, in their burning lust, choose to indulge the gay life style. Yes, it is a choice. One born with a deformity can choose to live a complete life of independance. Many have done it; but, a multitude have made the wrong, miserable choice to live dependant on society, never enjoying the exhileration of true freedom & success. Didn’t Jesus agree that some were born homosexual. You can see his thoughts on the matter if you read Matthew 19:8-12. 8He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. 9And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery. 10His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry. 11But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given. 12For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother’s womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven’s sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it. If you know the history of the words saris or eunouchos you would know this. After explaining to his audience that marriage was a lifetime commitment between a man and a woman (Matthew 19:4-6) and that it could not be easily ended (Matthew 19:9), “His disciples said to Him, “If such is the case of the man with his wife, it is better not to marry.” But He said to them, “All cannot accept this saying, but only those to whom it has been given: For there are eunuchs who were born thus from their mother’s womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven’s sake. He who is able to accept it, let him accept it” (Matthew 19:10-12). In classical Greek, eunouchos (translated “eunuch”) referred to men who were placed in charge of women. The position normally required that the man be castrated so that he could not have sexual relations with his master’s women. The same word was also used for castrated animals. When the Septuagint translation of the Hebrew Scriptures was done. eunouchos was used to translate the Hebrew word saris. This word referred to a court officials or eunuchs. In ancient culture this was often one and the same. A eunuch provided little threat to the ruling family because they were physically unable to establish their own dynasty, nor could one of the queens find herself having a son of a servant. Eunuchs were not allowed to serve as priests for Israel, since they were not whole. Continued on page 7 THE SPOKESMEN 7 The Peoples Voice Continued from page 6 (Homosexuality) “Speak to Aaron, saying: ‘No man of your descendants in succeeding generations, who has any defect, may approach to offer the bread of his God. For any man who has a defect shall not approach: a man blind or lame, who has a marred face or any limb too long, a man who has a broken foot or broken hand, ‘or is a hunchback or a dwarf, or a man who has a defect in his eye, or eczema or scab, or is a eunuch. No man of the descendants of Aaron the priest, who has a defect, shall come near to offer the offerings made by fire to the LORD. He has a defect; he shall not come near to offer the bread of his God’” (Leviticus 21:17-21). Nor were eunuchs allowed to enter the congregation of Israel. “He who is emasculated by crushing or mutilation shall not enter the assembly of the LORD. One of illegitimate birth shall not enter the assembly of the LORD; even to the tenth generation none of his descendants shall enter the assembly of the LORD. An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter the assembly of the LORD; even to the tenth generation none of his descendants shall enter the assembly of the LORD forever” (Deuteronomy 23:1-3). It is debated what is meant by entering the congregation. Some popular ideas are: · These people are forbidden from worshipping with the rest of the Israelites. · These people are not allowed to hold office in Israel. · These people are not allowed to marry into the Israelite community. The last makes the most sense because Nehemiah 13:1-3 mentions: “On that day they read from the Book of Moses in the hearing of the people, and in it was found written that no Ammonite or Moabite should ever come into the assembly of God, because they had not met the children of Israel with bread and water, but hired Balaam against them to curse them. However, our God turned the curse into a blessing. So it was, when they had heard the Law, that they separated all the mixed multitude from Israel.” The later understand also matches Jesus’ reference to eunuchs. The topic under discussion was marriage and the sins that might result from an improper marriage. The disciples’ reaction to the statement that a marriage could only be ended before death by a divorce for the cause of fornication was one of shock. They went to the extreme and declared that if this was true, then people should forget about marriage (i.e. remain celibate their whole life). Jesus said that three kinds people would remain celibate: Natural born eunuchs: Birth defects occurred even in these ancient days. Even today, 1.5% of the men in the United States are born with undescended testicles. Fortunately, modern surgery enables these men to live a normal life by moving the testicles to their proper position. But without such surgery in Jesus’ day, these men would be eunuchs. Made eunuchs by men : Accidents do happen and a crushed or amputated testicle is not repairable. Yet it remained a practice in these ancient days to castrate men either for job position or in punishment for some crimes. Chose to be eunuchs: Here we are not referring to men physically castrating themselves, but those who chose to live like a eunuch (i.e. without marriage or celibate). Marriage was forbidden and not practical anyway for men in the first two categories, but Jesus said that some would chose the celibate life for the sake of the being in the church. Such would arise from people who have made a mess of their early marriages that leave them in a position where they cannot remarry without committing adultery. Such people would value Christianity more than living a life of sin for personal satisfaction. In addition, there are some so involved in the kingdom that marriage would interfere with their work, such as the Apostle Paul (I Corinthians 7:8). No where is there even a hint of homosexuality in Matthew 19. Marriage is defined as being between a man and a woman. “And He answered and said to them, “Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate”” (Matthew 19:4-6). Sexual relations outside of marriage is condemned (fornication and adultery). The discussion about eunuchs is about foregoing marriage. Since sex is only allowed within marriage (Hebrews 13:4), Jesus is not saying that some people are natural born homosexuals, he is talking about men who are unable to have sex or chose to forego sexual relations by not marrying.

Scientific research continually vasilates back and forth between ‘born that way’ and ‘a chosen life style’. Why? The answer is seen in the scripture. Exodus 20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; Exodus 34:7 Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children’s children, unto the third and to the fourth generation. Leviticus 26 1Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God. 2Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD. 3If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them; 4Then I will give you rain in due season, and the Continued on page 8 WHAT? SAINTHOOD? You’ve Got To Be Kidding! Forwarded to us by Larry Meaux - Winnie, TX Whew! On a Saturday afternoon, in Washington , D. C., an aide to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited the Bishop of the Catholic cathedral in D.C. He told the Cardinal that Nancy Pelosi would be attending the next day’s Mass, and he asked if the Cardinal would kindly point out Pelosi to the congregation and say a few words that would include calling Pelosi a saint. The Cardinal replied, “No. I don’t really like the woman, and there are issues of conflict with the Catholic Church over certain of Pelosi’s views.” Pelosi’s aide then said, “Look. I’ll write a check here and now for a donation of $100,000 to your church if you’ll just tell the congregation you see Pelosi as a saint.” The Cardinal thought about it and said, “Well, the church can use the money, so I’ll work your request into tomorrow’s sermon.” As Pelosi’s aide promised, House Speaker Pelosi appeared for the Sunday worship and seated herself prominently at the forward left side of the center aisle. As promised, at the start of his sermon, the Cardinal pointed out that Speaker Pelosi was present. The Cardinal went on to explain to the congregation, “While Speaker Pelosi’s presence is probably an honor to some, the woman is not numbered among my personal favorite personages. Some of her most egregious views are contrary to tenets of the Church, and she tends to flip-flop on many other issues. Nancy Pelosi is a petty, self-absorbed hypocrite, a thumb sucker, and a nit-wit. Nancy Pelosi is also a serial liar, a cheat, and a thief. I must say, Nancy Pelosi is the worst example of a Catholic I have ever personally witnessed. She married for money and is using her wealth to lie to the American people. She has a reputation for shirking her Representative obligations both in Washington , and in California . The woman is simply not to be trusted.” The Cardinal concluded, “But, when compared with President Obama, House Speaker Pelosi is a saint.” Please contact Viagra, Ask if they still have enough product to send some to OBAMA.

THE SPOKESMEN From page 7 8 The Peoples Voice CONSEQUENCES OF IDOLATRY AND HOMOSEXUALITY 13I am the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright. 14But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments; 15And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye break my covenant: 16I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. 17And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you. 18And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins. 19And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass: 20And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits. 21And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me; I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins. 22I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your high ways shall be desolate. 23And if ye will not be reformed by me by these things, but will walk contrary unto me; 24Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will punish you yet seven times for your sins. 25And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall avenge the quarrel of my covenant: and when ye are gathered together within your cities, I will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy. 26And when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver you your bread again by weight: and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied. 27And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me; 28Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins. 29And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat. 30And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you. 31And I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not smell the savour of your sweet odours. 32And I will bring the land into desolation: and your enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished at it. 33And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste. 34Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it lieth desolate, and ye be in your enemies’ land; even then shall the land rest, and enjoy her sabbaths. 35As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest; because it did not rest in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it. 36And upon them that are left alive of you I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth. 37And they shall fall one upon another, as it were before a sword, when none pursueth: and ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies. 38And ye shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up. 39And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies’ lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them. 40If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and that also they have walked contrary unto me; 41And that I also have walked contrary unto them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity: 42Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land. 43The land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them: and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity: because, even because they despised my judgments, and because their soul abhorred my statutes. 44And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them: for I am the LORD their God. 45But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their God: I am the LORD. 46These are the statutes and judgments and laws, which the LORD made between him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses. What one of us would wish the above consequences upon America and it’s children? Is a few moments of sexual pleasure actually worth the price God has placed upon them? After all is said and done, isn’t that what homosexuality is all about? A few moments if ‘unlawful sex’, born of inordinate sexual appetite, with the feeble excuse, “I was bor that way.” Everyone is born ‘dead’ in trespasses and sin. Each of us must make decisions as to what we do with our lives. Many of my forefathers were prone to drink; so, at the age of 8 I became an alcoholic. That part of my life was an expression of the iniquity of the fathers visited to the third and fourth generation, as the scripture declared it would be. Do you want your children to be homosexual? Simply practice homosexuality and they will be. Because my family loved me enough to pray for me during my 28 years of drunckeness, God had mercy, forgave my iniquities and set me free. In the case of homosexuality, the price of freedom may be a great deal higher. Homosexuality is an abomination; therefore, God won’t look upon the homosexual to draw him unto Himself. That means that any approach unto God must be made by the homosexual hungering and thirsting for God, rather than by God’s spirit drawing the homosexual unto Himself. That places the homosexual in the greatest jeopardy to hell, both in his present life and in his life after death. “As for me and my house, we will serve the lord. Throughout the centuries, every nation that chose to embrace homosexuality as an acceptable life style, collapsed into chaos within a hundred years. We can see that taking place in America, today.

I wrote to ABC (on-line) concerning a programcalled ‘THE PRACTICE.’ In last nights episode, one of the lawyer’s mothers decided she is gay and wanted her son to go to court and help her get a marriage license so she could marry her ‘partner.’ I sent the following letter to ABC yesterday and really did not expect a reply, but I did get one. My original message was: ABC is obsessed with the subject of homosexuality. I will no longer watch any of your attempts to convince the world that homosexuality is OK. ‘THE PRACTICE’ can be a fairly good show, but last night’s program was so typical of your agenda. You picked the ‘dufus’ of the office to be the one who was against the idea of his mother being gay, and made him look like a whiner because he had convictions. This type of mentality calls people like me a ‘gay basher.’ Read the first chapter of Romans (that’s in the Bible); and see what the apostle Paul had to say about it..... He, God and Jesus were all ‘gay bashers’ What if she’d fallen in love with her cocker spaniel? Is that an alternative life style? (By the way, the Bible speaks against that, too.) —Jim Neugent Here is ABC’s reply from the ABC on-line webmaster: How about getting your nose out of the Bible (which is ONLY a book of stories compiled by MANY different writers hundreds of years ago) and read the declaration of independence (what our nation is built on), where it says ‘All Men are Created equal,’ and try treating them that way for a change! Or better yet, try thinking for yourself and stop using an archaic book of stories as your lame crutch for your existence. You are in the minority in this country, and your boycott will not affect us at ABC or our freedom of statement. Jim Neugent’s second response to ABC: Thanks for your reply. From your harsh reply, evidently I hit a nerve. I will share it with all of whom I come in contact. Hopefully, the Arkansas Democrat Newspaper will include it in one of their columns and I will be praying for you. --Jim Neugent --Note: Wouldn’t Satan just love it if people stopped using the Bible for a crutch? MAKES SENSE TO ME Time between slipping on a peel and smacking the pavement: ‘1 Bananosecond’ THE SPOKESMEN 9 WE The People Gene Crouch An Invitation to the Tea Party “The Tea Party” is a grassroots movement of ordinary citizens concerned about the growth and conduct of government. Local Tea Party groups have sprung up all over the country and are already making a visible difference in American politics. This movement has baffled the media and struck fear into the hearts of politicians of both major parties. Tea Party endorsements and support have helped candidates like Scott Brown win the Senate seat in Massachusetts earlier this year, as well as handing primary victories to folks like Rand Paul, Kentucky, Joe Miller, Alaska, Sharron Angle, Nevada, Mark Rubio, Florida, and Christine O’Donnell, Vermont. Incumbents from both parties have already lost in the primaries and I expect more will be looking for work after the Nov. 2 general election. While the liberal media and democrats attempt the portray Tea Party members as “right-wing wackos, rednecks and racists,” the ones I’ve come to know are just ordinary people who love this country and its founding principles and concerned enough with the way our country is being run that they have chosen to stand up and exercise their constitutional right to redress the government with their grievances. These grievances include the rising growth and associated debt of the Federal Government and the abuse of the power of the government beyond its constitutional limits. If you share these concerns, you are at least a Tea Party member in spirit. The Otero County Tea Party Patriots invite you to join and take an active part in throwing out the tax and spend politicians and replacing them with new ones who we hope will have some understanding about how to balance a budget.

The political system from top to bottom is corrupted by special interest lobbyists, giant corporations and giant investment banks. The U.S. Treasury is run by former Goldman Sachs and Federal Reserve officials who are the same people who were in charge of the economy when it fell on its face in 2007-08 and are now still in charge! Their only solution to restoring the economy is to continue doing what was done to get us here in the first place...print more money, spend more money, and go further into debt! When Obama won the presidential election with veto-proof Democratic majorities in both the house and senate, he took over the responsibility of managing the worst economic recession since the Great Depression. The Democrats passed a massive $1 trillion economic stimulus plan that rewarded Acorn, the Unions and their other political cronies, but didn’t create very many new jobs. Most of the first-year efforts of the executive and legislative branches were directed toward shoving an ill-conceived and unpopular National Health Care Reform Bill down the throats of the American Public. The final bill, which was over 2,700 pages long and unread by 99% of the congress, was weasled through Capitol hill by parliamentary sleight of hand after gaining initial passage by bribing congressmen with sweetheart deals and kickbacks like “Cornhusker Kickback” and the “Louisanna Purchase”. I seriously doubt anyone will hear any Democrat bragging about voting for that bill in any campaign speech this fall. Now the Obama White House wants to tax the very air we breathe with his insiduous “Cap and trade” tax America faces two crises that should be addressed by all thinking voters. The first and most important is a leadership vacuum that is obvious to even the casual observer. The second crisis that is insidious, yet dangerous to freedom and liberties is our uncontrolled judiciary system. It has almost completely robbed us of our rural industries, in collusion with grotesquely skewed foundations, ‘saving us from ourselves.’ The thoughts and words of Thomas Jefferson are appropriate and follow: The greatest threat to the Rule of Law and constitutional limitations on central government was an unbridled judiciary: “the original error was in establishing a judiciary independent of the nation, and which, from the citadel of the law, can turn it guns on those they were meant to defend, and control and fashion their proceedings to its own will. Dear Editor: I was so surprised to read in The Spokesmen that some of the stores in Alamogordo would rather have radical liberals and homosexuals visit their stores than god fearing people who comprise most of our nation’s population. Maybe we should find other stores to shop at. It is not as though we have to buy their goods or eat at their restaurants. I am not forced to shop at Lowe’s grocery store or eat at Golden Corral. It is a shame that we let undesirables how and who The Peoples Voice proposal designed to save our planet from climate change. This law would tax everything from auto emissions to cow flattulation. The very idea that any government can prevent the climate from doing whatever it wants to do is almost as absurd as this proposed new law to combat it. While trying to sell this onerous law to the public, the federal government has at the same time abdicated its real responsibility of defending the nation’s borders against a flood of illegal immigration and has even taken Arizona to Federal court for attempting to do the job itself. The people are growing weary of supporting a government that ignores the principles that inspired the creation of this country, from the Declaration of Independence to the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights. They are concerned with the unbridled growth of government and its intrusions into the lives of its people and the growing deficits and taxes required to support that growth. The U.S. Constitution was written to limit the government’s powers over the people, because the founders recognized the dangers of government out of control. They had a big tea party in 1773 to protest British taxes and political abuses and today concerned people supporting the Tea Party are reminding the politicians of what happened 237 years ago. The new Tea Party is made up of ordinary people who are dissatisfied with the way our country is being managed and are working to make a few improvements ... starting with the removal of incumbent policians who vote for their own self-interests and special interests rather than for the good of the American People. We don’t care what party you belong to or the color of your skin. If you care about your country’s future and are tired of being lied to and cheated by the people you elected to represent you, then join us in working for a better government that observes its constitutional limitations and actually works to serve the true public interest.

The opinion which gives to the judges the right to decide what laws are constitutional and what not, not only for themselves in their own sphere of action but for the Legislature and Executive also in their spheres, would make the Judiciary a despotic branch.” Jefferson understood that should our Constitution ever become a straw man for a politicized judiciary to interpret as it pleased, Rule of Law would gradually yield to rule of men—the terminus of the latter being tyranny. Are we there yet? Don Omey heads up the Tea Party in Otero County, NM. The Tea Party has remained very active during the chirade of Barack ‘Hussien’ Obama and may well be the only voice willing to see this would be dictator crushed! Don Omey we sell to. Why not let them search for other places or be silent. If they don’t want to read the truth they should just leave The Spokesmen on the shelf. No one is forcing them to read it. Peggy Talley Editors Comment: It is not the desire of the Spokesmen to force it’s viewpoints on anyone; however, perhaps the public should let their views be known as Peggy has. If a single liberal or homosexual voice can get The Spokesmen boycotted by a store, Your’s might get it reinstated. THE SPOKESMEN 10 Here’s an opinion piece by Chuck Green who writes “Greener Pastures” for the Denver Post Aurora Sentinel...one of the more liberal papers in the country. Additionally, Mr. Green is a life-long Democrat...so this is rather a stunning piece. CHUCK GREEN GREENER PASTURES IT IS ALL BUSH’S FAULT Obama is victim of Bush’s failed promises Greener Pastures — 5/15/10 Barack Obama is setting a recordsetting number of records during his first year in office? Largest budget ever. ? Largest deficit ever. ? Largest number of broken promises ? Most self-serving speeches ever. ? Largest number of agenda-setting failures ever. ? Fastest dive in popularity ever. Wow! Talk about change Just one year ago, fresh from his inauguration celebrations, President Obama was flying high. After one of the nation’s most inspiring political campaigns, the election of America’s first black president had captured the hopes and dreams of millions. To his devout followers, it was inconceivable that a year later his administration would be gripped in self-imposed crisis. Of course, they don’t see it as selfimposed. It’s all George Bush’s fault. George Bush, who doesn’t have a vote in congress and who no longer occupies the White House, is to blame for it all. He broke Obama’s promise to put all bills on the White House web site for five days before signing them. He broke Obama’s promise to have the congressional health care negotiations broadcast live on C-SPAN. He broke Obama’s promise to end earmarks.He broke Obama’s promise to keep unemployment from rising above 8 percent. G O D B L E S S U S A He broke Obama’s promise to close the detention center at Guantanamo in the first year. He broke Obama’s promise to make peace with direct, no precondition talks with America’s most hate-filled enemies during his first year in office, ushering in a new era of global cooperation. He broke Obama’s promise to end the hiring of former lobbyists into high White House jobs.He broke Obama’s promise to end no-compete contracts with the government. He broke Obama’s promise to disclose the names of all attendees at closed White House meetings. He broke Obama’s promise for a new era of bipartisan cooperation in all matters. He broke Obama’s promise to have chosen a home church to attend Sunday services with his family by Easter of last year. Yes, it’s all George Bush’s fault. President Obama is nothing more than a puppet in the never-ending failed Bush administration. If only George Bush wasn’t still in charge, all of President Obama’s problems would be solved. His promises would have been kept, the economy would be back on track, Iran would have stopped its work on developing a nuclear bomb and would be negotiating a peace treaty with Israel. North Korea would have ended its tyrannical regime, and integrity would have been restored to the federal government. Oh, and did I mention what it would be like if the Democrats, under the lead- The Peoples Voice ership of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, didn’t have the heavy yoke of George Bush around their necks? There would be no ear marks, no closed-door drafting of bills, no increase in deficit spending, no specialinterest influence (unions), no vote buying (Nebraska, Louisiana). If only George Bush wasn’t still in charge, we’d have real change by now. All the broken promises, all the failed legislation and delay (health care reform, immigration reform) is not President Obama’s fault or the fault of the Democrat-controlled Congress. It’s all George Bush’s fault. Take for example the decision of Eric Holder, the president’s attorney general, to hold terrorists’ trials in New York City. Or his decision to try the Christmas Day underpants bomber as a civilian. Two disastrous decisions.Certainly those were bad judgments based on poor advice from George Bush. Need more proof? You might recall that when Scott Brown won the election to the U.S. Senate from Massachusetts, capturing “the Ted Kennedy seat”, President Obama said that Brown’s victory was the result of the same voter anger that propelled Obama into office in 2008. People were still angry about George Bush and the policies of the past 10 years, and they wanted change. Yes, according to the president, the voter rebellion in Massachusetts was George Bush’s fault. Therefore, in retaliation, they elected a Republican to the Ted Kennedy seat, ending a half-century of domination by Democrats. It is all George Bush’s fault. Will the failed administration of George Bush ever end, and the time for hope and change ever arrive? Will President Obama ever accept responsibility for something... - anything?

Billboard A Done Deal THE SPOKESMEN 11 The Peoples Voice WHERE DID ALL OF THE LEADERS GO? By Lee Iacocca Remember Lee Iacocca, the man who rescued Chrysler Corporation from its death throes? He’s now 82 years old and has a new book, ‘Where Have All The Leaders Gone?’. Lee Iacocca Says: ‘Am I the only guy in this country who’s fed up with what’s happening? Where the hell is our outrage with this so called president? We should be screaming bloody murder! We’ve got a gang of tax cheating clueless leftists trying to steer our ship of state right over a cliff, we’ve got corporate gangsters stealing us blind, and we can’t even run a ridiculous cash-for-clunkers program without losing $26 billion of the taxpayers’ money, much less build a hybrid car. But instead of getting mad, everyone sits around and nods their heads when the politicians say, ‘trust me the economy is getting better..’ Better? You’ve got to be kidding. This is America not the damned, ‘Titanic’. I’ll give you a sound bite: ‘Throw all the Democrats out along with Obama!’ You might think I’m getting senile, that I’ve gone off my rocker, and maybe I have. But someone has to speak up. I hardly recognize this country anymore.. The most famous business leaders are not the innovators but the guys in handcuffs. While we’re fiddling in Afghanistan , Iran is completing their nuclear bombs and missiles and nobody seems to know what to do. And the liberal press is waving ‘pom-poms’ instead of asking hard questions. That’s not the promise of the ‘ America ‘ my parents and yours traveled across the ocean for. I’ve had enough. How about you? I’ll go a step further. You can’t call yourself a patriot if you’re not outraged. This is a fight I’m ready and willing to have. The Biggest ‘C’ is Crisis! (Iacocca elaborates on nine C’s of leadership, with crisis being the first) . Leaders are made, not born. Leadership is forged in times of crisis. It’s easy to sit there with thumb up your butt and talk theory. Or send someone else’s kids off to war when you’ve never seen a battlefield yourself. It’s another thing to lead when your world comes tumbling down. On September 11, 2001, we needed a strong leader more than any other time in our history. We needed OFFICE HUMOR I urgently needed a few days off work, but, I knew the Boss would not allow me to take leave. I thought that maybe if I acted ‘Crazy’ then he would tell me to take a few days off. So I hung upside-down on the ceiling and made funny, silly noises. My co-worker (who’s blonde) asked me what I was doing. I told her that I was pretending to be a light bulb so that the Boss might think I was ‘Crazy’ and give me a few days off. A few minutes later the Boss came into the a steady hand to guide us out of the ashes. A hell of a mess, so here’s where we stand. We’re immersed in a bloody war now with no plan for winning and no plan for leaving. But our soldiers are dying daily. We’re running the biggest deficit in the history of the world, and it’s getting worse every day! We’ve lost the manufacturing edge to Asia while our once-great companies are getting slaughtered by health care costs. Gas prices are going to skyrocket again and nobody in power has a lucid plan to open drilling to solve the problem. This country has the largest oil reserves in the WORLD, and we cannot drill for it because the politicians have been bought by the flea-hugging environmentalists. Our schools are in a complete disaster because of the teachers union. Our borders are like sieves and they want to give all illegals amnesty and free healthcare. The middle class is being squeezed to death every day. These are times that cry out for leadership. But when you look around, you’ve got to ask , Â ‘Where have all the leaders gone?’ Where are the curious, creative communicators? Where are the people of character, courage, conviction, omnipotence, and common sense? I may be a sucker for alliteration, but I think you get the point. Name me a leader who has a better idea for homeland security than making us take off our shoes in airports and throw away our shampoo? We’ve spent billions of dollars building a huge new bureaucracy, and all we know how to do is react to things that have already happened. Everyone’s hunkering down, fingers crossed, hoping the government will make it better for them. Now, that’s just crazy. Deal with life. Name me an industry leader who is thinking creatively about how we can restore our competitive edge in manufacturing. Who would have believed that there could ever be a time when ‘The Big Three’ referred to Japanese car companies? How did this happen ? and more important, look what Obama did about it! Name me a government leader who can articulate a plan for paying down the debt, or solving the ener- gy crisis, or managing the health care problem. The silence is deafening. But these are the crises that are eating away at our country and milking the middle class dry. I have news for the Chicago gangsters in Congress. We didn’t elect you to turn this country into a losing European Socialist state. What is everybody so afraid of? That some bonehead on NBC or CNN news will call them a name? Give me a break. Why don’t you guys show some spine for a change? Had enough? Hey, I’m not trying to be the voice of gloom and doom here. I’m trying to light a fire. I’m speaking out because I have hope - I believe in America . In my lifetime I’ve had the privilege of living through some of America ‘s greatest moments. I’ve also experienced some of our worst crises: The ‘Great Depression,’ ‘World War II,’ the ‘Korean War,’ the ‘Kennedy Assassination,’ the ‘Vietnam War,’ the 1970’s oil crisis, and the struggles of recent years since 9/11. Make your own contribution by sending this to everyone you know and care about. It’s our country, folks, and it’s our future. Our future is at stake!! office and asked, ‘What in the name of GOD are you doing?’ I told him I was a light bulb. He said, ‘You are clearly stressed out.’ Go home, recuperate and rest for a couple of days.’ I jumped down and walked out of the office... When my co-worker (the blonde) followed me, the Boss asked her, ‘..And where do you think you’re going?!’ (You’re going to love this....) She said, ‘I’m going home, too. I can’t work in the dark . “QUOTE OF THE CENTURY” Some people have the vocabulary to sum up things in a way you can understand. This quote came from the Czech Republic . “The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate, willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their President.” SIMPLY THE BEST 12th at New York - Alamogordo, NM THE SPOKESMEN 12 A friend of mine just started his own business, making landmines that look like prayer rugs. from the patriot post http://patriotpost.us/ I recently submitted a building permit application for a new house. It was going to be 100 ft. tall and 400 ft. wide with 9 gun turrets at various heights and windows all over the place and a loud outside entertainment sound system. It would have had parking for 200 cars and I was going to paint it snot green with pink trim. The City Council told me to forget about it. So, I sent the application in again, but this time I called it a Mosque. Work starts on Monday. Biden rushed into the Oval office in a panic. It seems that he had just discovered that there were more than 700,000 ‘Cattle Gaurds’ being used in the Continental USA. “Sir”, he shouted, “Are you aware that there are more than 700,000 Cattle Guards being used in our country at this very moment?” In his usual matter of fact way, Obama replied, “We will honorably discharge them immediately.” “But Sir”, Biden exclaimed, “ The new regulations concerning Veterans will force us to retrain them for civilian positions prior to discharge! Think of the expense!” If you haven’t gotten it yet, heaven help you. You may be one of the guards; or, perhaps one of the cows they guard! Let’s vote on this now Bill Clinton, George Bush, and Ronald Reagan are in a boat in the Potomac, when suddenly the boat develops a leak. They have only one life preserver jacket. Bill says: “Let’s do the Democratic thing. Take a vote to see who gets the life preserver.” They each write a name on a piece of paper and stuff it in a coffee can. Bush and Reagan get one vote each; Clinton gets six. The Peoples Voice It’s doing well. He says Prophets are going through the roof Wilbah was working at the sawmill and he cut his hand off. They put his hand in a plastic bag and they sewed it back on and he was back to work before the morning break. After the break Wilbah fell in front of the saw and his leg was cut off. They put his leg in a plastic bag and they sewed it back on and he was back to work before lunch. After lunch Wilbah was a little wobbly and he fell head first into the saw and his head was cut off. They put his head in a plastic bag and sent him off to the hospital. Come afternoon break Wilbah wasn’t back to work. His coworkers were starting to worry....he only cut his head off. He should be back by now. By afternoon break they learned Wilbah.......passed away. Wilbah suffocated. GOLF! Two men were golfing, and the fairway of the hole they were playing was adjacent to a road. The first man was setting up for his swing, when a funeral procession went by on the road. He stopped, faced the procession for a moment, then bowed his head in prayer as the hearse passed by. Only when the procession had passed out of view did he resume playing, driving his ball to the green. As they were walking toward the green, the second man said, “That was a touching show of respect for the the deceased back there. I had no idea you were so sentimental.” The first man shrugged and said, “It’s the least I could do. I was married to her for thirty years.” The roundest knight at King Arthur’s round table was - Sir Cumference. He acquired his size from too much pi.
