Welcome To Freedom for US Now!
Ode To An Oak Tree
By Jim Mullen
Standing stately on greenback hill
Among the yellow daffodil,
An oak tree sways its country charm,
Guarding a run-down rustic farm.
There I grew from lad to man
And crafted every special plan,
Lying under that massive tree
That fed my thoughts and nurtured me.
I heard the whisper of quaking leaves
Passing secrets to every breeze,
Made friends with nature, earth and sky..
Saw laughing spring, heard summer cry.
From autumn red to winter white,
At sacred dawn and secret night,
We welcomed rain and tasted snow
And watched the honeysuckle grow.
I learned enough of nature’s law
To know the freeze will always thaw.
There’s time to rest and time to fly,
A time to live, a time to die.
When clouds are set and rain must fall,
It doesn’t matter much at all,
If mood is gloom like darkest night,
A little time will glean the light.
I learned of life in nature’s field
And saw how wounds were quickly healed.
But when unfurled, that final scroll
Gives our rewards and takes its toll.
That oak tree calls me, still today,
To share my thoughts and drift away,
On white clouds piled to Heaven’s door.
An oarsman bid to come ashore.
I think when life has passed from me
There is no place I’d rather be,
Than buried ‘neath that tall oak tree
To feed the one who nurtured me.
To a Teacher
By Jim Mullen
Children look with wonderment at the world beyond the mere reflection of their own environment.
They reach eagerly to grasp the caring hands of those who teach.
A teacher lights a candle in the darkness, glowing for a lifetime in the minds of children.
They will forever use the tools given to them - and remember the confidence instilled in them -by the encouraging words of a teacher.
The teacher leaves a legacy, forming a nexus from generation to generation. They prepare each for life's journey by expanding the minds and the entire world of children.
Because you care...because you teach...people look at the world through softer, wiser eyes.
OLD AGE
By Jim Mullen
It must have been last night, when I grew old
This morning in the mirror, I saw this image unfold.
First I thought, “It’s the mirror”, but to my chagrin
Saw crows’ feet, wrinkles and sags in my skin.
‘Course I’ve noticed lately, some other signs,
With every “git-up” my “git-up” declines.
My body I’ve observed, is misfitted and bent.
Vision’s all fuzzy, I read with a squint.
Hair is graying, and getting thin on top.
The spirit says go, but the body yells stop.
Chest muscles slipped and fell to my waist.
Joints are all rusty and teeth need replaced.
Yesterday, I was young with a mind that could think,
Looked life in the eye and would never blink,
Attacked life with a bounce and flying wits,
Now, just tying my shoes gives me awful fits.
I walk in the kitchen, look around in despair,
Forget what I wanted, just stand there and stare.
And sex...I hate to tell you how hard that’s grown
It’s easier now, to just hold hands, and moan.
That candle of time I’ve burned at both ends…
Sometimes in the middle, but you know what, friends?
If I could do it all over, I’d change just two things…
Take better care of my body and have a few more flings
Now, I know age, is a relative theme
But a good night’s sleep and a steady stream
Are two things that would make me brim.
Oh, and Lord, could you throw in a good BM?
Do not expect them to stay moral and lose their lives for the purpose of becoming the fodder of the immoral. Do not expect them to produce when production is punished and looting rewarded. Do not ask, 'Who is destroying the world?' You are" -- Ayn Rand.For the greatest political speech in history

Ronald Reagan Quotes
- Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.
- Here's my strategy on the Cold War: We win, they lose.
- The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help.
- The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so.
- Of the four wars in my lifetime, none came about because the U.S. was too strong.
- I have wondered at times about what the Ten Commandments would have looked like if Moses had run them through the U.S. Congress.
- The taxpayer: That's someone who works for the federal government but doesn't have to take the civil service examination.
- Government is like a baby: An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other.
- The nearest thing to eternal life we will ever see on this earth is a government program.
- It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first.
- Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.
- Politics is not a bad profession. If you succeed, there are many rewards; if you disgrace yourself, you can always write a book.
- No arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is as formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women.

River Sunset
By Jim Mullen
Heavy breath of noon-day
slows as evening calls
Today’s gasp is shallow
Another night befalls.
A silver slice of moon
Reclines in graying sky
Just waking up in time
to bid the sun good-bye.
That disappearing sun
Because he hurried so
Dropped some precious gold-dust
In water here below.
Wavering crested waves
Lift colors from the flow
Roll them in sheaves of gold
To set the bank aglow.
Two robins take to flight
Express their last adieus
Skimming cross the water
Dispatching evening news.
Shadows fall from treetops
And spatter on the ground
Weave a web of darkness
Till’ all the night is bound.
Strains of tiny creatures
Erupt in song of night
Fireflies lighted candles
Flicker in dimming light.
Each creature takes its place
Almost like they rehearse
Things are right till morning
Then all the roles reverse.
At the eleventh hour, of the eleventh day, of the eleventh month - World War I, the first modern war, was over. It was called Armistice Day until changed to become VETERAN"S DAY. Please pause awhile to reflect....
In Flanders Fields
By: Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD (1872-1918)
Canadian Army
IN FLANDERS FIELDS the poppies blow
Between the crosses row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
McCrae's "In Flanders Fields" remains to this day one of the most memorable war poems ever written. It is a lasting legacy of the terrible battle in the Ypres salient in the spring of 1915. Here is the story of the making of that poem:
Although he had been a doctor for years and had served in the South African War, it was impossible to get used to the suffering, the screams, and the blood here, and Major John McCrae had seen and heard enough in his dressing station to last him a lifetime.
As a surgeon attached to the 1st Field Artillery Brigade, Major McCrae, who had joined the McGill faculty in 1900 after graduating from the University of Toronto, had spent seventeen days treating injured men -- Canadians, British, Indians, French, and Germans -- in the Ypres salient.
It had been an ordeal that he had hardly thought possible. McCrae later wrote of it:
"I wish I could embody on paper some of the varied sensations of that seventeen days.... Seventeen days of Hades! At the end of the first day if anyone had told us we had to spend seventeen days there, we would have folded our hands and said it could not have been done."
One death particularly affected McCrae. A young friend and former student, Lieut.. Alexis Helmer of Ottawa, had been killed by a shell burst on 2 May 1915. Lieutenant Helmer was buried later that day in the little cemetery outside McCrae's dressing station, and McCrae had performed the funeral ceremony in the absence of the chaplain.
The next day, sitting on the back of an ambulance parked near the dressing station beside the Canal de l'Yser, just a few hundred yards north of Ypres, McCrae vented his anguish by composing a poem. The major was no stranger to writing, having authored several medical texts besides dabbling in poetry.
In the nearby cemetery, McCrae could see the wild poppies that sprang up in the ditches in that part of Europe, and he spent twenty minutes of precious rest time scribbling fifteen lines of verse in a notebook.
A young soldier watched him write it. Cyril Allinson, a twenty-two year old sergeant-major, was delivering mail that day when he spotted McCrae. The major looked up as Allinson approached, then went on writing while the sergeant-major stood there quietly. "His face was very tired but calm as we wrote," Allinson recalled. "He looked around from time to time, his eyes straying to Helmer's grave."
When McCrae finished five minutes later, he took his mail from Allinson and, without saying a word, handed his pad to the young NCO. Allinson was moved by what he read:
"The poem was exactly an exact description of the scene in front of us both. He used the word blow in that line because the poppies actually were being blown that morning by a gentle east wind. It never occurred to me at that time that it would ever be published. It seemed to me just an exact description of the scene."
In fact, it was very nearly not published. Dissatisfied with it, McCrae tossed the poem away, but a fellow officer retrieved it and sent it to newspapers in England. The Spectator, in London, rejected it, but Punch published it on 8 December 1915.
Obama's ludicrous
comparison of OWS
with the Tea Party movement
President Barack Obama, and his comrade, the not-so-eloquent, Joe “the Bumbler,” Biden, joined other left-wing Democrats in a ludicrous comparison between the Occupy Wall Street hoodlums and the Tea Party movement. One should find this an interesting and puzzling analogy for the country’s top two office holders.
In a country founded on Constitutional principles of limited federal government this administration and the Democratic Party aligns itself with radical anarchists, Marxists, and admitted communists. Their vocal approval places them in lockstep with a lawless group espousing destruction of an economic and political system the world envied and held in awe for centuries. It is assuredly a system rewarding its people when they avail themselves of the opportunity for success.
Incredibly, this President is advocating in the strongest terms, destruction of the nation’s deeply held beliefs in freedom to pursue happiness and wealth using the free-enterprise system.
The American people hear their own leaders draw a parallel or real-life connection between mobs of rioters and the Tea Party movement. A movement advocating a return to constitutionally mandated limited government, reduced spending, and lower taxes. Furthermore, they demand freedom from an ever-expanding tyrannical government. Most Tea Party members believe in a stronger free-enterprise system that operates with less interference from Washington.
Conversely, the Occupy Wall Street movement abhors the U. S. Constitution, wants federal control of all businesses, increased spending and taxes, and demands governmental control and redistribution of income and wealth, or Social Justice. To them, entrepreneurship, and capitalism are mortal enemies of “the people” and they advocate strongly for its destruction.
In a strange twist of irony, Barack Obama and the Democrats led the staged bailouts of Wall Street and the corporations. If not invented by Obama, his Crony Capitalism certainly refined it to new purity in the last three years. It begins and ends with millions of dollars sliding between greasy palms and essentially begs government to pick winners and demean losers in the marketplace. Obama’s feigned revulsion of Wall Street belies the record contributions he collected from his Wall Street cronies - against whom the OWS groups are wailing.
The Tea Party demonstrators marched peacefully, carrying signs clearly outlining their demands for a return to constitutional principles. They registered disgust with the unconstitutional bailouts of selected corporations and banking institutions. Additionally, they protested enslavement of our country by the huge deficit spending programs.
The useful idiots of organized labor and the avowed Marxists and communists spout their corrupt ideas and ideals from tents pitched on private and public property. Numbers swell daily from the ranks of perverts, sex offenders and other losers drawn from the dregs of society.
These repugnant groups highlight their class and intelligence by defecating and urinating on police cars, the U. S. flag, and on public streets. The world is their garbage can and personal toilet. Rape, pillaging, burning, and interruption of commerce are commonplace in many of the OWS groups. The rage reflected in the faces of these crowds is not sorrow for a loss of freedom, but rather, fury at freedom itself.
Conversely, the Tea Parties return areas cleaner than they find them, and for the most part police their own ranks and disavow kooks and fringe elements. Moreover, their ranks deeply mourn the loss of liberty.
Although the targets of the radical’s rage are against all of the successful, the producers, and the job creators; Jews are the bulls-eyes. The anti-Semitism is rampant in the midst of these protests and sounds eerily similar to the same vile, hate-filled rhetoric that swept Europe and the United States in the 1930’s. The President’s daily rants about the evil rich help feed this sentiment.
The Tea Parties, accused by Democrats of being racist because of their opposition to Barack Obama’s policies, are big supporters of black conservative politicians and writers. Meanwhile, black Democrats like Maxine Walters disparage and manifest their contempt by calling black conservatives, Oreos. Others spout conservative blacks have “lost their identities.” Liberals expose their racist fangs every time they contemptibly accuse black conservatives of “acting white.” If “acting white” is bad in the feeble mind of Maxine Walters, how bad is “being white?” Her bellowing for the Tea Party to go to hell and calling them racists, tell us all we need to know.
The liberal media adopts this band of no-hopers as they do every left-wing group and every Marxist idea. Each story places a positive spin by casting these mobs in the roles as victims of freedom and loveable-losers in life’s lottery, not as the losers they are. They refer to them as peaceful demonstrators instead of rioters, while Tea Partiers suffer demonization and derision with nearly every report painting them as radical extremists.
This administration and their fellow Democrats use the OWS protests to deflect criticism and cast blame for the failure of their big-government programs. Economically unsophisticated and uneducated protesters are unaware their real enemies are in the White House and Congress.
Obama and his “tax-paying-challenged”, Treasury Secretary, Timothy Geithner, demanded bailouts of Wall Street, financial institutions, and corporations.
When Democrats took control of Congress January 4, 2007, the national debt stood at $8.67 trillion. It now stands near $15 trillion. Unemployment was 4.6%; it is now over 9%. The Republican-led House of Representatives passes jobs bills and they remain in Harry Reid’s big, ho-hum basket. The enemies to job creation are obvious.
The rioter’s rant of “corporate and personal greed” is laughable. These losers want a seat at America’s buffet and learned from early childhood an entitlement to anything that others have earned. Their incessant whining about their own shortcomings and then clambering for the income and wealth of others is the very epitome of greed. An ideology of victimhood and small-minded bitterness drives these people, fueled and sparked by a lifetime indoctrination to place all their eggs in mega-government’s basket.
When these OWS groups stand at the bottom of life’s ladder, looking upward at those who worked hard, made good decisions, and climbed to the height of their abilities, they feel nothing but envy and hatred. It’s easier for losers to ask Daddy Government for food, clothing, shelter, and education, and Nanny Government to kiss their booboos and tell them how wonderful they are. It is time for Daddy and Nanny to declare, “The free ride is over.” Now is the time for an attitude adjustment. Get out, get to work, and personally experience the joys and hardships of life; in other words, grow up. Wasting time standing on the street corner of life with your hand out, doesn’t make one worthy, it makes one a leech on the back of society.

Liberals are a motley crew, but the DNA strand connecting most of them is an overpowering, almost obsessive-compulsive drive to make everything line up, balance, and come out even.
Obsessed with rearranging, realigning, and controlling the natural order of everything and everyone on Earth to fit the perfect liberal-progressive model, they quickly find disillusionment. Their cockamamie ideas meet with scorn and ridicule in the real world of reason and common sense. While a very high percentage of conservatives are actually grownup liberals who found truth and reason accompanied their years, most liberals find peace and tranquility in a make-believe world.
Frustrated by their inability to manipulate the behavior of others, yet having an uncontrollable fixation to make everything “equitable,” liberals learned long ago to harness the power of government.
They feel a self-aggrandizing compassion to empower government to create - not an equal playing field - but equal results. “Social justice” and balance (redistribution) among all people, classes, and “things,” are staples in every liberal pantry.
Enter Barack Obama marching in perfect step with his Democratic entourage to the rhythmic drumbeat of class warfare and race baiting. Together, they wail monotonously with cries of “disparity” in American society, insisting that everything must meet their definition of “fair.”
When liberals convince, coerce, and bribe government into implementation of their twisted theories, it creates a dam restricting the free-flowing waters of entrepreneurship, ideas, and success once so well-known in American society. Government interference by excessive taxation and crushing regulation restricts commerce and personal freedom with one grand purpose; equalizing the level of success downstream. They never allow it to exceed some predefined level established as “equitable” by a statist government and its stewards, the bureaucrats.
Progressive government promised bountiful, blissful waters under their control. Instead, the dam created fetid cesspools of stagnation downstream from the government's dam. The casualties trapped by liberal ideology in these wretched cesspools, and slums cover every region of the country held tightly in the greedy clutches of the Democratic Party’s radical left-wing.
Americans are not victims of free enterprise or Capitalism, but from out-of-control government. The President blames Wall Street, business, banks, and has dozens of other inane excuses for the worst economy since the great depression, and with the disparity of wealth and income. The federal government deliberately prevents normal movement and mobility between classes and represses freedom and initiative. Liberal-Progressives produced and directed the economic malaise and the perpetual state of dependency that afflicts our country. Ronald Reagan said it plainly enough, "Government is not a solution to our problem; government is the problem."
Progressive thought always misses the first basic law of life, not every inequality in this world is injustice, and not all injustices are fixable by government. Therefore, some laws of natural order will not succumb to even the most ardent liberal mind or government will.
Millions of Americans are casualties of their meddling and historically, these unlucky benefactors of liberalism receive inferior educations, city services, police and fire protection, and private retail services. Politicians take the tax and regulatory whip to business and taxpaying Americans, driving them into temporary refuges in other cities, states, and offshore where they find a more receptive attitude to free enterprise.
Never one to take failure nor facts for an answer, the community organizer from Chicago recognizes this and wants federal control and funding for the “cesspools of liberalism” in every city, county and state. Thereby, he reasons, there is no escape for the victims, no respite for the taxpayers, and yet another generation is saddle-broken to government.
Personal, economic, and constitutionally guaranteed freedoms are never options in a liberal-progressive’s mind. Freedom is much too disorganized and untidy, and represents unnerving threats to their perfectly organized, superior intellect, and their controlling nature. Every brilliant spark from a liberal mind ignites more injustice, and liberty’s fervor diminishes.
When they whine of perceived inequities, they become fodder for politicians and despots who understand how to control and use them for nefarious ends. They earned the title “useful Idiots” for their support of vicious dictators in Europe. An over abundance of these people congregate in positions of power at universities and in the media.
Often called the intelligentsia, they promote the concept of ordinary Americans living in servitude. It is the perfect solution as it represents a theoretical, perfectly organized universe. There are no winners or losers, no right or wrong, and no disparity in income, wealth, or status. However, as it is with all dictatorial governments, there are really two classes of people; the ruling class and the masses, commonly called “the people” by the communists.
Historically, the moors to which liberalism anchors its destructive ideologies are class warfare and ignorance. It is a tragic time in American history when a President of the United States spends a vast amount of his daily communications and activities spewing propaganda, promoting ignorance, and dividing the country with class warfare rhetoric. Obama and all liberals depend upon the media, and over the long-term, the state-controlled public education system - to advance and support that ignorance. The more they stray from reality and facts, the greater the need for lies and propaganda. As Syndicated Columnist and Economist, Walter Williams says, “Class warfare thrives on ignorance.”
Ignore these people at your peril. They are relentless, cunning, and highly skilled back-alley warriors who specialize in scorch-and-burn politics. They throw punches and scream when anyone mounts a defense. When confronted by facts or challenged, they hurl invectives of racism and class warfare, shout down and diminish opponents, and then filibuster until everyone, intimidated or bored, walks away. While most people, busy building constructive lives, dismiss them as kooks, a liberal’s life work is that of a controlling tyrant. Determined and in the fight for the long-term, they will win the war by attrition unless conservative Americans unite and fight them with the same ferociousness.
Will the next Presidential election be another “date which will live in infamy” in U. S. history? Will that be the day America falls out of love with liberty and embraces Marxism as its new lover? Will we sacrifice our constitutional ideals for an abusive relationship that promises carefree subsistence, but at the price of our dignity and self-determination?
Remember Obama’s new internet advertisement – “Our work isn’t done yet!” These words should fill the heart of every freedom-loving American with sheer terror.
Liberals’ idea of the “Perfect World Order” may be nearer than we imagined. The more they reshape the universe to fit their model world, the tighter, and heavier the chains of servitude on the rest of humanity.
Jim Mullen
One can crawl under any rock and get an education about the inner workings of politics. Skulk around most dark alleys and you can learn how a good confidence game can suck the very lifeblood and fortunes from a "pigeon” or sucker. However, if one truly appreciates and marvels at watching the veritable masters of all scam artists at work, one need to search no farther than the present-day liberal-progressives and their flimflam-artist-in-chief Barrack Hussein Obama.
Confidence game is so-named because the scam artist gains the “confidence” of the “mark”, or sucker in order to build the trusting relationship needed to run a good ‘game’ and separate gullible people from their money.
In the bright light of sober reality, most swindles are laughable. Reasons for people taking the bait and falling for confidence games are varied, and as complicated as our very existence. However, the first is an overwhelming human desire to believe people with winning smiles and a slick authoritative manner. The second reason people fall for any number of far-fetched schemes is an almost uncontrollable desire to get something for nothing. In the case of government, it is often too painful for most people to believe a high official in their government could be part of these unspeakable acts of traitorous behavior we have witnessed our elected leaders perpetrating on the American people. It is especially difficult for some generations of older Americans who believe a handshake and promise is a contract.
Con men know how to take advantage of our foibles and use them against us. When asked questions they learn never to allow themselves to be pinned down without parsing every word of an answer in a way that gives double meaning and an eventual “out”. Mastering the art of oration is an essential element in the development of a great conman and needed to carry out the deception.
Politicians often enjoy the added benefit of having several “ins” with those whom they wish to swindle. For example, they control the jobs and paychecks of millions of potential suckers. In addition, most have a history with voters of packaging their fraud by spinning lies into webs of shimmering, silky promises, and then gleefully awaiting their unsuspecting prey. They understand what a person lets through their filter is something they want; not necessarily anything grounded in reality.
Having obliging, compliant media give political scams an additional air of authority and legitimacy. Media are now complicit in enslaving the American people rather than guarding liberty.
What we see in our country is not only the failed policies of a leftwing, extremist Congress working with Obama; they joined forces in running a series of confidence games on the American people. Every press conference, news release, talking point, and speech, are efforts to trot out their leftwing hucksters to sell us a series of the most outlandish scams ever witnessed in the long history of our great land.
The greatest asset all conmen - especially politicians - must have is an ability to lie pathologically and without remorse. Consider what these “snake oil” salesmen would have us believe:
· We can achieve world peace and national security by appeasing our enemies, apologizing to every country on earth, and weakening our defenses. Obama believes he can convince those who would kill us into shaking hands and going home if he continually apologizes for America’s behavior.
· Congress and the President can spend trillions of dollars more to pay off their political contributors and supporters than they collect in taxes and not have any adverse consequences on the country.
· That the greatest country in the history of civilization is somehow in need of a “fundamental transformation” and should become more like socialistic Europe or dictatorial Venezuela.
· They would have us believe that radical progressives and ideologues with no business experience, working with labor union bosses and their thugs, know how to create jobs.
· That taxing and regulating manufacturing and business into submission and driving jobs overseas is good for jobs in America.
· Signing trade agreements with communist countries and dictators is a good policy for the United States, and treaties with countries that require our protection are in our best interest.
· Mortgaging our future to Communist China by borrowing hundreds-of-billions of dollars and building our economy around a dictatorship is a good thing.
· Loaning money to people who have no means of repayment is common sense strategy for the country because everyone has the right to own a home.
· Adding 30 to 40 million people to the health care system -- plus tens-of-millions of illegal aliens and their families -- will in no way create a doctor, hospital or any other shortages and will not result in rationing. It also will be less expensive and could actually save us trillions of dollars.
· Allowing people to pour into our country illegally is good for our country because they pay more taxes and contribute more in services than they cost taxpayers. They are just poor people who want to feed their families and only perform work Americans won’t do. Illegal aliens and politicians holding the American people hostage for amnesty is justifiable because it is the humane and rightful thing to do.
· That redistribution of income and wealth is good for Americans. Taking money from successful, hard-working Americans and entrepreneurs and giving it to chronic losers, alcoholics, drug addicts, and slackers is the fair thing to do.
· Disarming law-abiding citizens will make everyone safer in their homes, automobiles, and in the streets. Criminals will lay down their guns and not assault, rob, or rape if armed Americans do not threaten them.
· Rule of law and the Constitution are unimportant, unless they fit the liberal-progressive narrative.
· It is the federal government’s responsibility to determine winners and losers in business and in the everyday lives of the American people.
· Private property is a misnomer. All property, land, wealth, and income belong to the government. Therefore, they have the absolute right to limit, control, dictate the use of, and redistribute everything.
· It is the government’s responsibility to control our lives from the womb to the tomb.
History has shown the federal government does little well and nothing efficiently. Therefore, we should trust them to do nothing for us that we can do for ourselves. Two facts we must always remember; placing a bureaucrat or politician between a citizen and a task that needs done is equivalent to greasing a sled with molasses; and that politicians will tell any lie to get our money and restrict our freedom.
We elected these crooks and we alone can stop them.
