Public Housing

The problem with public housing is that the residents are not the owners.  The people who live in the house did not earn the house, but were merely loaned the property by the actual owners, the taxpayers. Because of this, the residents do not have the "pride of ownership". That comes with the hard work necessary to become owners. In fact, quite the opposite happens. The residents resent their benefactors, because the very house is a constant reminder that they themselves have not earned the right to live in the house. They neither appreciate the value of the property nor understand the need to maintain or respect it in any way. The result is the same, whether one is talking about either a studio apartment or a magnificent mansion full of priceless antiques. If the people who live there do not feel they've earned the privilege of occupancy, they will make this obvious through their actions.

Note the common theme of the following photographs.....

The desk, built from timbers of the HMS Resolute and a gift from
Queen Victoria to President Rutherford B. Hayes
Is considered a national treasure and icon of the presidency.

The White House belongs to the people of America ..
Its treasures should NOT be used by ANYONE for a foot rest..!

These photos, ongoing proof that this man has no class whatsoever,
all show an innate disrespect for our White House.

SO, HERE'S A MESSAGE FROM THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA :
Mr. Obama, you're not in a hut in Kenya or Indonesia , or in Chicago public housing.   You're in the White House, Barry..... Property of the people of the United States ..
With all due respect, get your @#%*+#% feet off our furniture!

Is This The Epitome of Hyporcisy in America Today or What?HuffingtonPost: Hobby Lobby Invests In Abortion Pill Manufacturers

The Huffington Post  | by  Laura Bassett

The owners of Hobby Lobby, a Christian-owned craft supply chain, were so offended by the idea of having to include emergency contraceptives and intrauterine devices in their health insurance plans that they sued the Obama administration and took the case all the way up to the Supreme Court. But Mother Jones reported on Tuesday that the company's retirement plan has invested millions of dollars in the manufacturers of emergency contraception and drugs used to induce abortions.

Hobby Lobby's 401(k) employee retirement plan holds $73 million in mutual funds that invest in multiple pharmaceutical companies that produce emergency contraceptive pills, intrauterine devices, and abortion-inducing medications.

The companies Hobby Lobby invests in include Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, which makes the Plan B morning-after pill and ParaGard, a copper IUD, as well as Pfizer, the maker of the abortion-inducing drugs Cytotec and Prostin E2. Hobby Lobby's mutual funds also invest in two health insurance companies that cover surgical abortions, abortion drugs, and emergency contraception in their health care policies.

Hobby Lobby's attorneys argue that the provision in the Affordable Care Act that requires most employers to cover contraception in their health plans infringes on the company's right to exercise religious freedom because the company's owners believe that emergency contraception and IUDs are actually forms of abortion. Medical studies have debunked this claim.

Eagle Rising: Liberal Ideology is Hateful and Borderline Sociopathic

By Onan Coca

Sheriff David A. Clarke

Sheriff David A. Clarke has become a favorite of ours here at Eagle Rising over the last year because of his stances on crime and the 2nd Amendment. He has caused quite a stir in his home state of Wisconsin for suggesting that citizens take the prerogative to defend themselves, because the job of police is to investigate crime, not stop it. He even earned some liberal ire by appearing at CPAC this year to discuss how more legal guns among law abiding citizens would mean less crime in a community. 

CPAC 2014 - More Guns, Less Crime: Law Enforcement is Embracing a Well-Armed Civilian Population

 

 Well, Sheriff Clarke is earning our admiration in a whole new way now with his perspective on education in the inner city. He recently took to the pages of the Washington Times   to excoriate liberals for their racist and harmful views on how minority groups should be treated differently from white communities.

The latest attempt by liberals to help black people is underway in our K-12 urban public schools.

These do-gooders are now defining down socially acceptable behavior for black students in school. Bad behavior is being excused and attempts to hold black kids accountable by enforcing codes of conduct are called racist.

Having a sense of discipline has always been considered a virtue, a redeeming quality, but now its roots are claimed to lie in racism.

White liberal elites have chimed in about school codes of conduct.

Eagle Rising: Sheriffs Walk Out of Capitol When Told to Disarm

By Onan Coca

 Doesn’t it seem as though politicians can be the most disrespectful people on the planet sometimes? Whether it’s the condescending way they talk to the average voter, or the disgusting things they say about their opposition, or even the way they seem willing to lie in any situation. Sometimes though, the examples can be especially egregious.

Every year, Sheriffs from around the state of Oklahoma trek to the capital to schmooze, converse and lobby their state representatives. This same trek has been happening for years, and for years it’s gone on without controversy. But there’s a first time for everything.

This year, some lily livered, weak kneed politician was made to feel uncomfortable by the display of armed Sheriffs descending upon the state capitol. So the sheriffs were asked to disarm or leave  . Many of them chose to leave instead of suffer the indignity of being forced to disarm.

Blue: For Earth. For Humanity. For Freedom. Official BLUE Trailer

What if the "green" movement isn't saving the earth, but instead is enslaving humanity?

  BLUE is more than a film, it's an idea. Ideas have the power to change the way we think, begin movements, and even change the world. One of the most prominent idea of our time today is the Green Movement, which says that the Earth is threatened by the activity, even the existence, of mankind, and that the noble response is to restrict our freedom in order to save the planet. The movie BLUE challenges that idea. BLUE is an independently funded and filmed documentary by director, JD King.

"In BLUE, filmmaker JD King takes you into some of the most spectacular forest lands in North America, and introduces you to many of the real people who have made their lives there for generations. They are now in a desperate battle to save everything they value, their land, their jobs, their families, their way of life. You may be shocked to discover that their worst enemy has become the 'environmental' movement. Do our new environmental governors really know what is best for these rich precious lands? To the contrary, JD King explores the reality underneath the rhetoric, and shows that this movement is no longer about humans' proper conservancy of nature, but is all about seizing the new 'green'—of money, power and dictatorial control. Can rational rules for these lands--based on the human values of rights and freedom—prevail?

Some of the true stories you will see in this movie may outrage you, some of them will move and inspire you, but you will never take the claims and demands of 'environmental leaders' at face value again after experiencing BLUE." — Prof. Matt Malkin, UCLA

WHO'S TO BLAME?

                     WHO'S TO BLAME????

I look on tomorrow’s agenda of the Town Council and see three bonds issues.  It is truly amazing that no one can see the taxpayers cannot afford another tax increase this year.  However, due to recent events the town council has to make a decision on what to do about the burning of the Public Works garage.  This is not an item that can be put off because the taxpayers are paying a monthly rental fee of $4,500.00.  This has to take a priority over everything else and should be kept in a separate category than the other bond items.

Keep in mind that several years ago the County Commissioners wanted to consolidate dispatch centers.  They asked if Lisbon would like to consolidate our dispatch center (Communication Center) with the Androscoggin County Dispatch Center and the Town Council at the time (Mike Bowie, Lori Pomelow, Fern LaRochelle, Gina Mason, Roger Bickford, Mark Lunt and Roger Cote) voted NO.  Roger Cote was the only councilor in favor of consolidating Dispatch Centers.  Chief Brooks pushed the council to keep our Dispatch Center.  Had they consolidated Dispatch Centers our town could have invested approximately $1,500,000.00 tax dollars into our town’s infrastructure.  The town would not be struggling for money right now.

If the town had $1,500,000.00 saved, the town would be able to purchase both the Public Works building and the track with this money.  Also, there is a possibility that the town would not have had to raise our taxes every year.

If Chief Brooks had been thinking about what is best for the community, he would have let the County Commissioners consolidate Dispatch Centers and save the taxpayers all this money.  It was and still is the right move for the residents of this town for as long as Chief Brooks is allowed to keep the Dispatch Center and purchase assault weapons there will never be any money for roads, track or gym.

The Dispatch Center needs to go so this community can grow!!!!!

WND RADIO Sheriff: Feds Can't Make Me Enforce Gun Control

‘It’s not my job to turn law-abiding firearms owners into criminals’

 

Greg Corombos

 Most Colorado sheriffs are refusing to enforce new gun-control laws they consider unenforceable, saying they will not treat every citizen like a felon and won’t change their plans even if a federal judge rules against them.

Fifty-five of Colorado’s 62 sheriffs are in agreement on refusing to enforce the law. Weld County Sheriff John Cooke said the new rules on magazine capacity and other issues make it impossible for authorities to make arrests even if they wanted to.

“They’ve turned law-abiding citizens into criminals,” Cooke said. “They banned magazines that hold more than 15 rounds and what they’ve said is that any magazine that can be readily converted to hold more than 15 rounds is illegal. Well, that’s 99.999 percent of all magazines. They have a base plate and a spring that you can remove to repair or clean. If you can do that, then that magazine is illegal to possess after Jan. 1, and you can’t buy any. How do we enforce that?

“There’s a grandfather clause in the law that says if you own a magazine before July 1, 2013, that’s more than 15 rounds, you’re allowed to keep it. How are my deputies going to know who bought that magazine before or after July 1? So we’re not putting any resources into it or making it a priority,” he said.

Another American Hero Has Gone West Rest In Peace Admiral Denton: Ex-senator and Vietnam POW who blinked "torture" in Morse code dies

Prisoner of war Jeremiah Denton declared his loyalty to the U.S. government during a 1966 interview for what was supposed to be a propaganda film. But his enraged captors missed his more covert message: "T-O-R-T-U-R-E," blinked into the camera in Morse code, a dispatch that would alert the U.S. military to the conditions he endured.

Denton, who would survive 7 1/2 years confined in a tiny, stinking, windowless cell at the infamous "Hanoi Hilton" and other camps before his release in 1973, died of heart problems Friday in Virginia Beach, Va., at age 89, his grandson Edward Denton said.

The elder Denton later became the first Republican from Alabama elected to the U.S. Senate since Reconstruction, though the iron will that allowed him to persevere in captivity gave rise to criticism he was too rigid a politician.
