This epiphany is about Jimmie Stewart, Lionel Barrymore, The New American Way and those billionaires supporting the Obama regime like Warren Buffet

A great character actor from the early stage and screen era from the famous Barrymore family, Lionel Barrymore, portrayed the greedy banker Mr.Potter in the film "It's A Wonderful Life".which by the way was a "clinker" at the time "

The film gets resurected around Christmastime as most know. The feature role was enacted by the late USAF Brig Gen James Stewart depicting a dejected soul on a suicidal bent who was through divine intervention given an epiphany by an angel showing him what would happen to others if he took his life..

The saddest thing is that with all the hoopla the film draws around Stewart during the Christmas season about this late and truly "Great American". Is his modest museum located in his home town of Indiana Pensylvainia has come on hard times and will close. Jimmy Stewart never left his home town, Indiana Pennsylvainia, (leastwise in spirit) and when available supported local activities served whenever asked and could . Proudly boasting of his roots every chance he had.

The "flick" that Stewart and Barrymore starred in raises a question. Could the role that Lionel Barrymore played, attacking the capitalistic system portraying a greedy heartless financier, who using other peoples money bought up failing businesses, and foreclosed properties portray the irony of the socialist system in real life ? Revealing depicction between types like none other than Warren Buffet a vigorous Obama supporter .

Buffet, believes in the goverment taking 55 percent of the value of any estate worth above a million after the owner dies. Naturally, since he owns or has controlling interest in 5 life insurance companys* who's policies exempt those who take life insurance policies from any of his companies from such government inheritance seizures.
source Christopher Cantrell "Robber Baron Warren Buffet" as related by talk show host Mark Levin

Wouldn't you be in favor of such a law if you were Buffet Plus the cash flow from those high premium policies going into those sundry coffers enable leverage buyouts of family farms and businesses who get raped once that law comes into effect. Then after dumping them to the highest bidder (sometimes a foreign or a compeditor which promptly closes them ) turning in a tidy profit to the chief stock holders

Yes it is time for cynicism but more importantly it's time for you to let your friends and neighbors know what's going on. The next time you talk to them about politics you might bring this up. Or even print this up and pass it around

If anyone wants to watch reality theater unveiling itself before their very eyes "Take a trip On A Plane". Watch a terrified 3 year old toddler and a member of a family of four from Omaha headed for a vacation flight to Florida required to have her privates inspected by TSA agents looking for explosives.

A Catholic Nun experiences the same while headed to a religious retreat, an experienced overseas and domestic airline flight attendant cancer survivor ordered to remove her breast pad (prostheses) so it can be inspected for explosives.

Why call it theater ? Because whether by design or a refusal to identify the source the result is the same it is ...Theater .How else to convince the sheeple that terrorists can be from "A Broad Strata of Society" like your your next door neighbor, not a member of a select group belonging a major religion, and without this agency to protect you, "your unprotected". It's done to expand that bureaucracy known as TSA

Are you the face of a terrorist ?

Does Michelle Malkin have it right ? Or Is this "The Broad Strata of Society" TSA should be looking at ? Michell Malkin 11/27/10 page

After 9/11/ airline passenger security was required to determine, those securing passage on an airliner were; Who they say they are, going to where they say they were going , and have no ill intent or were driven by a philosophy or creed to do harm to themselves or others while on board that aircraft.
    Therefore the type of security that was needed was to allow passengers to get from point A to point B in safety without impeding the normal flow of those using of that mode of transport.

The TSA began as a modest opt out supplemental agency during the Republican Bush administration where private security firms would be used but in areas where not available this agency would fill the need..

When the international socialists led by President Barrack Hussain Obama took over. Reflecting on Obama's election Obama ,who used seductive deceptive propaganda to get elected, philosophic opponents to expanding government claim .They said he would apply marxist expansive governmental solutions once in office.

They were soon proven correct. Very shortly after Obama secured the executive branch (presidency) of the American government in 2008 this program along with many others began a massive expansion. TSA is reported to have over 60,000 employees..

The thing about socialist politicians is, while using your money citing a cause or a suitable conviction that the public may accept without question,they create bureaucracies with jobs for followers in government. Then expect their followers to owe allegiance to them for life and the protect the government job that they hold,and owe nothing to those who are paying the bills, namely the taxpayer. Even if that position and bureaucracy is there for "Keeping Up Appearances".

Is it time to plug the muzzle on this idea from Pistole and pull the trigger ? The Transportation Security Agency is headed by John Pistole who answers to Homeland security secretary Janet Napolitano a former governor of Arizona who was expected to lose office (and did) to the current governor then Lt Governor conservative/ Republican and recently re-elected.

In an article written by Mona Charem in the National Review entitled "Look For Terrorists Not Weapons " insisting we should follow Israel's example. She cited a crop of terrorists found in other countries. Using security screening techniques by Israel and others .Not the bizzare draconian techniques being used by US andour TSA. Unfortunately she did not go into how countries with large land mass such as Russia, China, and Canada for that matter, screen their passengers who may represent a possibility of being a terrorist threat using internal flights within their respective borders.

While not asserted in her article in www.national review.com a question arises;

Is TSA is using hyperbole in offering a paranoid rationale so Joe Sixpac and family accept and submit to bizzare draconian procedures which has not produced one valid identifiable terrorist* (*language which the Obama regime doesn't use) . But is busy creating a huge labyrinthine bureacracy (like the EPA) members of which might owe their alligience to the socialists running the government at the expence of Joe Sixpac family's, family's, family .

1st Question

The recent crop of terrorists cited by the National Review article were found in other countries outside the system being used in the US by TSA. What are they doing that is different ?

2nd..Those X Ray Scanners. How safe are they?...(3 parts).
2a.. Do they represent a health issue of radiation dosage to those that use them ?
2b..Can they determine the passenger they are examinining has plastic type explosives hidden in sundry places including body cavities ? Or discovering the explosive being woven as fabric is covering those body parts?
2c...If yes to the 1st question, and no to the second, then why are they being used?

3rd Question.... The Hand Body Cavity (so called pat down) Investigation.. Will that procedure which is intrusive discover material which may be explosive fabric (which could be discovered by a wand) ?

4th....TSA Organization (6 parts)
4a....How many employees does TSA have ?...
4b...How does TSA allocate the number of employees to a given airport terminal ?
4c...What are their duties and their salaries ?
4d.. At the federal complex outside Washington DC how many employees does TSA employ and please break down their duties and salaries ?
4e...How many detentions of passengers have resulted in a successful arrest and prosecution of a terrorist ?
4f Can this be done by a private firm?
5th Question////Ask Director Pistole. What the purpose of the touch inspection is? If he ran the idea to Secretary Napolitano or even higher ! Time to plug the Pistole's muzzle and pull the trigger!

An open letter to Hon Ron Johnson,Sen elect (R)WI, your states 2011 Congressional delegation, especially the 2011 entire Wisconsin Congressional delegation and the incomming governor, Hon Scott Walker.

Were any of the AMTRAK officials ever consulted in planning of these "high speed" routes ??This whole concept seems to be a bunch of politicians seeking to institutionalize their name in a bunch of costly to the state projects. Which if one goes through Wikipedia, it cites 79 AMTRAK routes were dropped because the states found them too costly to subidize and maintain.

There are two rail main routes which are in glaring need of repair. One is The AMTRAK "Sunset Limited" which takes a southern route (instead of routing everything through Washington DC)

The Sunset Limited goes from Los Angelus to Orlando Florida via Texas, New Orleans Louisiana, Mississippi, and? Mobile Alabama onto towns in Florida. That track has not been repaired since hurricane Katrina but is still on the AMTRAK route map. There is no talk of using "high speed" funds for repairing that section but of a high "speed rail" link between Orlando and Tampa.

The other is the "Empire" route which takes a northern route from Seattle to Chicago and services Milwaukee, which has a section that gets washed-out yearly around Wisconsin Dells. If that section were configured for high speed rail; Chicago,to Milwaukee, to Wisconsin Dells that route might pay for itself.

Many Wisconsinites don't know this. The genesis of the Madison high speed rail link to Milwaukee/Chicago (actually mid speed 100+ mph not 250 mph) was to link the state capital of Madison WI to Chicago because Madison was to be part of the Olyimpic games venue if Chicago secured those games.

It did not and time marched on but the decision was then never modifided to reality (because this rail link would only service a handfull of people) if completed as is. It's there, because putting it simply it sounded good!. And because that Wisconsin governor liked the way it sounded and would have a train station named after him accomodating a train that nobody would use.

Ideally if those funds cannot be devoted for other uses such as the repair of infastructure within the state of Wisconsin but must be dedicated exclusively to development of high speed rail .Then let those funds go to the improvement of the AMTRAK line between Milwaukee and the Wisconsin Dells/Portage Empire run and the completion of the high speed rail link between Milwaukee and Chicago. WHERE PEOPLE RIDE

Here is why

Spring and summer storms often wash out the rail link between Wisconsin Dells and Milwaukee caused by the Wisconsin river flooding the low lying rail bed between Mauston (which once upon a time was an AMTRAK stop) and slightly beyond Portage Wisconsin.

When that happens those passengers between Winona MN and Columbus/Watertown/Beaver Dam wind up being "en-trained"/"de-trained"/ to a bus while Milwaukee /Chicago and beyond passengers remain on the train taking an alternate route to Milwaukee/Chicago from Winona MN.

So passengers in between, in the towns of Sparta,Tomah, Wisconsin Dells, Portage,/ Columbus (Watertown Madison and BeaverDam)/get stuck on a long arduous bus trip.I booked a prepaid trip taking AMTRAK from Tomah WI to Chicago during such a washout. A bus was sent from Winona MN that trip took 6 hours to go the 100 miles or so from Tomah WI to Milwaukee. Because that bus wasn't direct but had to stop to pick up or discharge passengers at those towns the train would miss when that wash out occured.

If those funds dedicated for the Madison run cannot be be re-appropriated for badly needed infastructure use. Then let them remain in Wisconsin and improve the rail system here, Where it stands an excellent chance of eventually perhaps returning that investment. Perhaps even a car train as they have going to Florida, have one going to the Dells or Mauston.

While we're thinking about it. How about a "Hi Speed" passenger rail link between Chicago and Green Bay for the Packer/ Bear games ? Maybe Obama's bud, Warren Buffet might go along with that idea. He owns the railroad . Since he insists on rich people paying more taxes maybe he could instead take that money and pay for the train that wouldn't be used in Madison and use it on his railroad which would be hiring more people..

While most everybody knows that those expensive curly-que fluorescent light bulbs have been mandated by congress and your incandescent light bulb will be banned in 2012.Let us not forget Lead paint was banned from maufacture during the Eisenhower years.

There are still some folks who don't know they are hazardous if broken, (leave the room to let the mercury settle call EPA for instructions) and must be disposed at approved EPA sites warning their little Freddy Krugers not to gleefully break them into a thousand pieces. ...The EPA now has this in store for any home owner of a building built before 1978.

?April 22nd is the EPA deadline when painters, plumbers, and other ?remodeling?sub contractors must?present their lead hazmat removal certifications, don their hazmat outfits, be ready to?seal off any bathroom ,kitchen, windows (which also may contain lead)?they may?work on. Then cart away those old fixtures to an approved EPA site (after paying a disposal fee of course). All this while charging an additional?"G" note( known as a "grand" or a thousand $$ ) or more to cover for the additional licenses, forms ,clothing, and insurance, which will be required by law.

?Passing that extra charge on ?to any homeowner who has a building built before 1978 they may wish to remodel. Of which there is an estimated 30 million laying around. This was done because of the government assumption that all buildings constructed before that time 1978, were painted with lead based paint even if they weren't.

You must understand one size fits all and every home has children under 6 years of age working like little beavers all knawing on windows sills and wood trim .Of course there was no inquirey into what happened to the millions of kids years before or the 32 years since then.

Using jingoistic feel good slogans, dire warnings, pseudo science,plus phoney statistics unquestioned by an agenda driven media, a huge weed like Jacks beanstalk grew and grew until like kudzu they, the EPA, are everywhere.

How?was this shoved on the unsuspecting public ? Its because the EPA made a masterfull decision to make the EPA a self sustaining perpetuated elite corps. By issuing its edicts piece meal through its regional offices. As these regional offices became staffed with the necessary inspectors ready to pounce upon any contractor?demanding compliance or face stiff fines up to $36,000 for violations. The EPA regional offices began issuing warnings here and there and in that way sane members of society borne in the 30s-40s-50s and 60s would not let out a?united scream of ....This is ?Nuts !!...?What Hell Are You Doing??.......
Clever Huh ?. The EPA has more in store for US.
