LOCAL HEARING ON DEVELOPMENT IN ORLAND PARK

On Monday May 16^th a hearing was held at the OP Village Hall to protest the development of two 5 story hotel buildings behind the Rock Bottom Restaurant. The Hall was packed with protestors from Hummingbird Hill and the surrounding area. For many this was their first exposure to local government in action .Most had just learned of the meeting through a flyer distributed by a concerned citizen. It was obvious that the Trustees weren’t pleased to see this opposition. The Village position was based on an obsolete plan from 2004 to fill the vacant land. Since 2004 much has changed and the lots in question have gone through bankruptcy and foreclosures. The history was not clear. The finances and concessions were not discussed. The Trustees did not lay down sufficient ground work for discussion and justification. The Village and the developers presented very positive positions backed up with their statistics. The Village was geared to approve this development. This was not to be the case, as the people had thoughts of their own...

In response, the community voiced their opposition to potential parking and traffic problems. The area was already feeling the pinch from existing businesses in the area. The use of the 2004 plan was not fully explored or justified. In twelve years the area has developed into a beautiful area for residents. To build two five story buildings does not conform to the present aesthetics. It practically butts up to Hummingbird Hill. This is a major concern and objection.  Would you like two five story hotels in your backyard?

The issue was presented regarding the need for 2 hotel buildings to compete with the Hilton. Why here? The developer presented his national statistics on hotels in a way that it appeared the Hilton was always 98% full. His statistics were questionable, they didn’t jive with the people’s observations.

 The question arose, why here, in a beautiful residential area, when there is plenty of vacant land available in Orland Park. It made no sense as the Trustees attempted to sell an obsolete 12 year old plan. The Trustees were confronted with the potential problems of having hotels near the new Twin Peaks, Bikini, Bar/Restaurant.  A Bar known for the biker shoot out in Waco Texas where nine people were killed. The Trustees were asked to use their imagination for potential problems.

What if the hotels fail? What happens to the property? Will we inherit more section 8 housing? There were plenty more questions and opposition to the development. It was clear that the Trustees lacked research and analysis in defining the potential problems associated with this development. They need to present their impact statement on how they justified this project, if they have one. They need to rethink relocating these 2 hotels in OP. The presented statistics were a deception of the proposed hotels and operation in attempting to sell the project. The Trustees voted for a no decision and to meet again on June 6.

During the interim I hope the Board and Mayor revisit their position and start thinking of the people and the impact on the residential area. A 12 year old plan is no longer viable. It’s time that the concerns of the people come first. Sorry, the glove does not fit.

WHY DO WE HAVE A CONGRESS

Why do we have a Congress when the President dictates law thru executive Orders and Regulations. They say they have the power of the purse and impeachment. They won’t cut anything even when we’re 18 trillion in debt. The President is offering Iran 50 Billion for agreeing to a useless nuclear agreement. What about the Ukraine? The WH spends millions on travel. The 1^st lady has a staff of 23, most 1^st ladies had one.  Congress has useless hearings with no results: F&F, Benghazi, IRS and on and on. No one is accountable. The AG sets law instead of enforcing laws. He works to divide us. Every day our freedoms are attacked: religious, culture, speech, right to bear arms and above all the Constitution. When polls say Congress has a 7% rating I say it’s too high. What do they do in Washington?  Our country is being destroyed bit by bit,we can’t wait till 2016.

 

 

 

DHS/AMNESTY A BIG CON JOB

When the president sent Congress the Department Of Homeland Security Budget he included funding with legislation to fund 5 million illegals. The President has been using Executive orders to get his way on many different issues. The Congress would not fund the illegals and took the position that it was unconstitutional. It passed a bill stripping the illegal funding.  The bill passed and went on to the Senate. The Senate needed 60 votes to pass the House bill. With only 54 Republicans it couldn't muster the majority. A number of RINOS made the task of passing the House Bill even harder.


What we have in the Senate is a political game in which the Democrats stated if the bill, the President wanted, didn't pass, Homeland Security would  shut down. Not true, they could still work although their pay would be delayed until funding was passed.  It was a scare tactic and con job. In the meantime the States  challenged the President's Amnesty effort in court. The court ruled for an injunction of the funding of the 5 million illegals.  The states would have been burdened with supporting the illegals.  The President's action would have given illegals a bonus and other benefits including the eventual right to vote. The President is in charge of the Executive Branch to carry out laws not create laws.  The Congress  creates laws. We are not sure when the court will rule on the injunction, but it appears that it will have to go to the Supreme Court for resolution.


Senate Majority Leader McConnell recommended 2 separate bills, one to fund DHS and one for funding illegals. This would eliminate the threat of shutting down DHS and eliminate the Democratic leverage to blackmail the Republicans into passing Obama's funding request in fear of shutting down DHS. 


It's unfortunate that Republicans like McCain, Graham, Rubio, Johnson and others fell prey to the Dem Game and would rather play politics instead of standing up for what is right and not to be intimidated by threats. John McCain said he was ashamed, well he should be. In fact the entire Senate should be ashamed for playing these games instead of fulfilling their oath to uphold the Constitution.


I don't know what kind of people we send to Washington but it demands a letter, phone call to your representatives to start doing their jobs. We don't deserve to be conned or lied to by the President or our representatives. Using blackmail to get elected officials to vote a certain way is not acceptable. It's a disgrace. The current people in DC are dragging the country down and they will be looked upon, in history, as the ones who destroyed a great country.

WHERE DID WE GO WRONG?

Where did we go wrong? The world appears to be in chaos. People are rioting and protesting. No one’s happy. Government has no answers and their solutions are worse. We have forgotten the values that made our country great: ingenuity, creativity, individualism, hard work, family, a sense of common decency, a belief in God and oneself. Each and everyday these values are under attack. We are no longer encouraged to be individuals with self esteem, but to become members of a collective society that is dependent on one another and above all, government. Somewhere along the way we have been led to believe that government is the answer. If government was the answer our lives and our society would be perfect. We know that the world and man is not perfect. Corruption is rampant and money is truly the root of all evil. To commit a crime has almost become common place. Where is the remorse? We no longer know the difference between right and wrong. We are envious and jealous of those who have more than us and feel justified to think that we are entitled to their riches. There is nothing in this life that is free, you have to work and earn it. To take it from someone is called stealing. For government to think they can spread the wealth is a way to destroy ones soul. God created us as free thinking individuals with a conscience. We must return to our basic values and individualism if are to survive the evil and corruption that abounds in today’s society. We must be responsible for our own actions. It starts with each and everyone of us becoming a model for goodness and true justice. This is not easy, as we discover the difficulties of finding the leadership and the values to lead us out of this sad state of affairs. We the people must stand up and provide the answers and demand the values to turn our country around. If we don’t, we can start saying goodbye to a nation that was once called the “Home Of Liberty and Freedom”.

WHAT'S HAPPENING TO MY COUNTRY?

To All Elected Officials:


OK, what are you guys doing in DC to keep us the Land of the free and home of the brave. In my estimation, not much. Let's start out:
1. Where's my bonus. How in hell can you provide all kinds of benefits to illegals? Give them the right to vote. Who do you represent, certainly not me.
2.Control the border? When?
3.Foreign Policy, there is none. ISSIS and the Jihadist keep advancing and killing and the US is immune. Do you know about the Nazi's and the holocaust?
4.Disease control.  We're not stupid. Measels, spread by who.  Illegals coming across the border. Who are you kidding?
5. Budget, more debt no cuts. Start cutting your benefits you're costing me too much for my return on investment.
6. You stand by and watch this President destroy our Constitution and laws. We have a dictator and you support it by not speaking for America.


As long as people like you represent us we stand no chance of regaining what we once were, Proud, patriotic, hard working americans.
George A. Tarasuk

Behavioral Manipulation By The Obama Administration

Behavioral Manipulation

 

It is becoming evident that the Obama White House uses Behavioral Methods and Techniques to manipulate the minds of citizens. Information is coming out that the Obama 2012 Campaign used behavioral techniques to sway voters.  They studied voter habits and needs and played to them. They told the voter what they wanted to hear. Old clips reveal Obama’s flip flops on issues and promises.  Obama, along with his teleprompter, has become the Great Campaign Orator. He portrays himself as fair and just. Some call him cool. A person who will take care of you. Don’t worry everything will be fine. The problem is, he does not know how to manage. His idea of management is to tell subordinates to handle it and have it on my desk tomorrow morning. In the mean time he goes off campaigning, shooting hoops, golfing or vacationing. His meetings with staff and agency heads are few. Where did he go in the case of Benghazi? Was he available to oversee this crisis? Why not? What’s more pressing the lives’ of your subordinates or your self comfort.  He’s called the Commander in Chief for a reason.

 

Just as Barack Obama tries to manipulate us we can surmise that he was manipulated and programmed to be the person he is. His books tell the stories of “His Father’s Dreams”. Was he programmed? Based on historical records, speeches and interviews it would appear to be the case.  He was programmed through his environment and the radical associates that surrounded him. His ideology is not that of a normal American. He was raised in a radical/socialistic environment not one favorable to the Constitution and the ways of patriotism.

 

Just as his behavior and ideas were programmed, so is the way that Barack Obama is trying to transform America. Through the use of welfare, false promises, control and the guise of justice and fairness he is succeeding. Republicans have fallen to his methods. Do you believe that he is sincere in the lunch and dinner meetings?  The manipulation of behavior is very dangerous and we must be exposing these methods. We cannot let ourselves be fooled and manipulated by anyone. We must maintain our freedoms and individuality by understanding and being informed. Our minds are not for sale.

What Happened to Privacy

On Sunday Fox News had a special "Our Secrets' regarding the mining of personal data.  A large complex is being built in Utah to store and access information on everyone in the United States. The internet, phone, credit cards, cameras you names are being used to track and keep information on private citizens.  What happened to all the privacy policies that we receive in the mail.  When did the government get the right to watch my every move? When did they get the right to take private business information?

This information will not only be used for national security but for behavioral research and political purposes.  It is 1984, where government is the ruler.  What is to stop Barack Obama or any tyrant from using this information for all the wrong reasons?

This is wrong, what is being done to stop it?

SICK AND TIRED

I love my country and what it stands for. I love the flag, the Constitution and the culture our forefathers established for us. I love the opportunities that I have been given. I love the freedom to practice my religion and to speak my mind and do what I want to do.



I’m sick and tired of illegal’s getting a free pass. They come here and think everything is free. They don’t like our language, they don’t like our flag. If there’s so much wrong, why not stay and fix your own country? English is our language, if you don’t know it learn it. Why should I have to select the number one or two when making a business call? They came thru the back door, not the front door. They should have no rights, they should have no voice. Why should I or any American support people who come here illegally. What happened to the rule of law? Why should we pay for their education, food, housing and health care? This adds to the country’s debt and my taxes. Try it in Iran or China. Some illegal’s think they have the right to vote (many politicians encourage it), if caught, they should be thrown in jail and deported. The politicians act as though we are obligated to support everyone’s needs. What about our needs and wants? Elected officials take an oath to not only create laws but to also obey and enforce laws, why aren’t they doing it? It’s time for politicians to do their job. Maybe it’s time for them to start thinking about the law abiding citizen who pays the taxes that pay their salary; the law abiding citizen who votes and elects them to office.



I’m sick and tired of the Radical Islamists who want to take over our country and turn it into Sharia Law. It’s working in Europe, why not America? America is a Christian Nation that respects all religions, don’t come here and try to ram your ideology down our throats. If you want to come here, respect our laws. Don’t bring your laws and think we’ll submit to your wishes. If you want to live in a Muslim Nation, go to Iran, Egypt or Saudi Arabia., go wherever you want, but not the U.S... When you come to America you have the responsibility of blending into our society. That’s why we call America the melting pot of the world. We all have to get along and work together. If we go to a Muslim country we must adhere to their customs and laws. They don’t ask us, they tell us, we should expect the same.



I’m sick of the Gay/ Lesbian community pushing their agenda. Why do I have to accept their morals? To me marriage is between a man and a woman. Marriage is to procreate children, that’s God’s law. When two women or two men can procreate, maybe then, and only then can we call it a marriage. What’s wrong with civil unions? Push, Push. Give them an inch, they want a foot, give them a foot, they want a yard. The politicians cater to this group because they feel it’s politically correct. The politician will sell his/her soul for a vote. Maybe it’s time to stop being politically correct and start being morally correct. Government acts like a bad parent, they don’t know what “NO” means. We have lost our values. Morals are out the window. Once we lose our morals and forget God, we become a decadent society, a society destined to self destruct. It was encouraging when the Chick Fil A controversy arose, regarding the CEO’s thoughts on gay marriage, and a majority of Americans defended the CEO’s right of free speech and free enterprise. Stop pushing us, we’ve had enough...



Yes, I’m sick and tired of all of this and the corruption, violence, government regulations and lies that come from politicians and the media. I’m sick and tired of hearing how people want to change our country. I like the country the way it was created. I like the values and principles upon which the country was founded. It makes me sick to see the deterioration of the American Family. It worries me that God is no longer a major part of government and society. I’m sick and tired of a President who is trying to transform and divide our country. A President who lies and uses his golden tongue to deceive and fool the people. I’m sick and tired of paying taxes to support a society that is becoming dependent upon big government. I’m sick and tired of government schemes to reward friends and donors. In general I’m just sick and tired of what our government has become, “USELESS”.



It’s time that all hard working, law abiding citizens take a stand. No longer should we cater to groups who feel they are better than our society. If you want to live here, take responsibility for yourself and your actions. It’s up to you to work and provide for your family. Government was never intended to provide for everyone. Those in government who believe government’s role is to be a provider should be thrown out of office. There is no need for America to change, it’s time to tell the dissidents to love it or leave it. Don’t let them destroy the greatest country on earth.

WHAT WILL IT BE AMERICA - SOCIALISM OR CAPITALISM?

What is the major issue in this year’s Presidential Election? Is it jobs, the economy or the country? I say it’s the country. The country is at stake. The choice is clear, its Socialism or Capitalism. If you believe in President Obama you knowingly or unknowingly want socialism. You want social justice, distribution of wealth, national health care, elimination of the Constitution, a stacked Supreme Court, big government, a new world order, state religion, a government that will control business, more taxes, suppression of a free press and speech. Obama is transforming America through his underhanded methods of change. The MSM won’t present the truth; they prefer to act as cover for the President. The MSM is as guilty as the President in trying to destroy our country. If you believe in free enterprise, the Constitution, the flag, small government, responsibility, freedom of religion, freedom of choice, freedom of speech and everything that has made this country great than your choice and only choice will be Mitt Romney.

America, it’s your choice. I like my freedom, I like to run my own life, and I don’t want to be told what to do or not to do. I’m proud of my country and what it has done. I’m proud of our forefathers and the people who worked to build it. I don’t want it destroyed by a community organizer who wants to transform it into the “Dreams of My Father’. Obama’s 2008 campaign was a lie and his 2012 campaign is a bigger lie. He won’t talk about his failures or the damage he is doing to this country. He uses his voice and words to cover up his lies. He is a deception, a person that can not be trusted. To believe or trust him, his your choice. You can believe in his hope and change. You can believe everything will be fine or you can look at the reality of what is happening to this country. Government wants to provide everything for you and in turn you will become a slave of government. You only have to look to China, Russia and others to see what your life will be like. If this is the America you want, Obama is your man. If you want a country of the people, for the people and by the people than you want Mitt Romney.

WHAT WILL IT BE AMERICA – SOCIALISM OR CAPITALISM?

OBAMA'S ACTIONS VS HIS WORDS

Charles Krauthammer said that we shouldn’t listen to what Obama says, but watch what he does. Obama’s actions tell the story. The President says he’s bipartisan. I guess that’s why he issued all those Absentee Appointments and Executive Orders. Who needs Congress, they get in the way. He was quick to take control of banks and businesses in attempts to straighten out the economy. The man doesn’t believe in free enterprise or the market doing its job. Where’s a budget, every good business has a budget? Managing and balancing our countries finances is too good for this President. He prints more paper, that’s how you fix problems. Don’t worry; the future will take care of itself... The President says employment is getting better; we just need more time, trust me. What does he do? He issues more regulations, closes coal mines and prevents oil drilling. Oil prices and commodity prices rise, but remember prosperity is around the corner, just wait. Are you really better off than you were four years ago? It’s getting worse, not better. “Give me four more years and I’ll finish the job”. You bet he’ll finish the job. The housing market is in the dumps, foreclosures are common, and property taxes keep going up while housing values go down. Government continues to grow while the private sector shrinks. Who creates jobs, the private sector or government? Obama Care is expected to raise taxes, but Obama says it will create a fair and equitable healthcare system. Everyone will be covered and you’ll pay less. Lies and more lies.



In my opinion, the President’s actions tell me that’s he’s not interested in being President, he wants to be a dictator in the new world order. What’s the UN up to lately? He knows nothing about managing. He’s a Community Organizer... His ideology has been engrained from his radical and socialistic upbringing. His actions emphasize bigger government: control business, nationalize healthcare, tax, spend and spread the wealth. Government will be your master. Government knows what’s best for you. He talks of penalizing the rich and helping the working class. He preaches class warfare, racism and dividing the country. Who gets hurt, with these policies? The middle class, hard working American will be the loser. At their expense the lazy and illegal’s are treated to food stamps, subsidies, no taxes, free healthcare, education, phones, housing. Some call it Communism, Socialism, Progressivism, Statistism. Call it what you want, it’s a disaster. It’s not the American way.



What irks me is that Congress has stood by lacking the courage to react to the President’s policies. John Boehner and Mitch Mc Connel look and act like wimps, old time politicians who need to move over for a new breed of aggressive forward looking patriots. We need leaders like Allen West who will stand up, speak their mind and look you in the face and tell the truth... November’s election should be about exposing Barack Obama and his policies. If Barack Obama is re-elected he will complete his transformation. He will move to abolish the Constitution, end the Supreme Court and make Congress useless. Right now he’s on track. It will be the end of the United States; he will have accomplished his mission and become a dictator in the new world order. Don’t believe me? Look at his actions. He’s clever and a person not to be trusted.

SPIRIT OF 1776

July 4th would be just another day if it wasn’t for the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on this day. The year was 1776, 236 years ago. It was the first major step towards ending the ties with the British Empire. It was the first step in the founding of a new nation. A nation founded on freedom and liberties. It was a nation that trusted in God. It was a nation founded for people not government or rulers. Today we salute and remember the leadership of: Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Adams, Franklin, Hancock, Hamilton and the other men who would bravely sign this declaration. It was the beginning of setting the example for the rights of all people. It set the stage for establishing a Republic: “Of the people, by the people, for the people”.




The significance of July 4th should not be lost in parades, political speeches, picnics, fireworks, leisure and only fun. It should be a day to also thank these men who stood up and fought for the freedoms and life that we enjoy today. We thank them for our freedoms and liberties. We thank them for their wisdom and intelligence in establishing the foundations upon which the United States works. We also have to thank the many men and women who have fought and died to keep and defend these rights and freedoms. Proudly wave and fly the flag on July 4th and everyday. Be proud to be an American and let’s restore America to the patriotism and “Spirit of 1776”.

CONSPIRACY THEORY OR REALITY

Is there a conspiracy to destroy America? Everyday we see more evidence that people are working behind the scenes to destroy the country we love. The debt has escalated to an insurmountable 16 trillion. The debt is the first step towards self destruction. How can we help anyone when we can’t help ourselves. At one time we had leverage to deal with China and Russia, today the table has turned. It wasn’t long ago, that countries looked to us for leadership. Today we seek to become part of a world union where we join and share our wealth, secrets and resources. This union would dismantle our laws and Constitution , we would be subjected to the laws of the new world order I t sounds like something out of a science fiction novel. That is where the Obama Administration is trying to take us.



Is this just a conspiracy theory or reality. I say it’s reality. It’s happening right before our eyes and we stand paralyzed and incapable of reacting. The game is being played right out of the Marx and Alinsky playbooks. They play the race card and class warfare like a fine tuned instrument. The words are disguised with hope and change. Over time we have learned to decode their language. They act like they’re your friend preaching social justice and fairness. The bad guys are the wealthy. The good guys are the unions, and radicals like Van Jones, George Soros and Bill Ayers. The President denigrates the Supreme Court and ignores the Congress. He has no respect for the Constitution. Where’s the checks and balances. Will SCOTUS repeal ObamaCare.? Will the Congress start standing up and start controlling the President. Where does the President get the authorization to continue his spending spree? Who controls the money, the Congress or the President? Will they demand true justice from the Attorney General? Will they continue to allow regulations strangle our independence and economy. Where’s the outcry . What we get is a soft wimper and submission from our representaives. Where’s the courage and patriotism among the Republicans? Boehner is a poor excuse for a leader. The Democrats are like puppets mouthing the same message. Harry Reid is an obstructionist and a disgrace to the State of Nevada. We need leaders, not losers like Boehner and Reid. In November we need to dump the losers. We need a Congress that will take its business seriously.



This is no joke. Our country, traditions, beliefs are at stake. We need people in Washington who will stand up for our Constitution and beliefs. Where’s the backbone to tell the truth. . The Republicans are lacking the fire and spirit needed in a time of crisis. We the people need to get mad and spread our anger and frustration, in a peaceful way, to correct the current trends and direction of our country. We can no longer stand by and depend on elected officials to take control. It’s no longer acceptable to be politically correct and show reverence by preceding our comments “with all due respect’. Be honest, do you really have respect for your elected officials?, It’s time s to stop mincing words and say what you’re thinking.. Being nice doesn’t work. Being politically correct doesn’t work. Let’s start calling them out and demand answers and action.



This is a wake up call. In November our country is at stake. If we don’t defeat Obama it’s over for the U.S. of A. The media will continue to support our destruction and we need to call them out on their deceptions and lies. The Unions are not our friends, they take our money to support an administration that is working to destroy us. We need to control the unions and politicians. They work for us, we don’t work for them.. . Our government is duping us and we need to clean up the mess. We must stand together to defend our country. It’s a war. We must fight to win. If we lose, we lose our country. Obama and his cronies know what they want. They want to destroy the greatest country on earth. This is reality, not a conspiracy theory.

Harry Reid is an obstructionist and a disgrace to the State of Nevada. We need leaders, not losers like Boehner and Reid. In November we need to dump the losers. We need a Congress that will take its business seriously.



This is no joke. Our country, traditions, beliefs are at stake. We need people in Washington who will stand up for our Constitution and beliefs. Where’s the backbone to tell the truth. . The Republicans are lacking the fire and spirit needed in a time of crisis. We the people need to get mad and spread our anger and frustration, in a peaceful way, to correct the current trends and direction of our country. We can no longer stand by and depend on elected officials to take control. It’s no longer acceptable to be politically correct and show reverence by preceding our comments “with all due respect’. Be honest, do you really have respect for your elected officials?, It’s time s to stop mincing words and say what you’re thinking.. Being nice doesn’t work. Being politically correct doesn’t work. Let’s start calling them out and demand answers and action.



This is a wake up call. In November our country is at stake. If we don’t defeat Obama it’s over for the U.S. of A. The media will continue to support our destruction and we need to call them out on their deceptions and lies. The Unions are not our friends, they take our money to support an administration that is working to destroy us. We need to control the unions and politicians. They work for us, we don’t work for them.. . Our government is duping us and we need to clean up the mess. We must stand together to defend our country. It’s a war. We must fight to win. If we lose, we lose our country. Obama and his cronies know what they want. They want to destroy the greatest country on earth. This is reality, not a conspiracy theory.

Patlak vs Morrison

In today’s mail I received two pieces of campaign literature. The first was a derogatory piece accusing Dan Patlak of Electioneering, Soliciting, Political Hiring and Shaking down Property Tax Attorneys. There was no indication of who sponsored this trash. The second came from the Republican Organization of Orland Township with Liz Gorman’s signature. The second was billed as; “Your Official Republican Sample Ballot”. If it was a sample ballot, why didn’t it include all of the Republicans running for: Illinois State Senate, 18th District, Illinois State Representative 35th District, and candidates for the 1st and 3rd Congressional Districts? For Cook County Board of Review 1st District it promoted Sean Morrison as ” one of our own”. This was not a sample ballot it was a deception. It was a cheap political piece sponsored by Ms. Gorman.

Every morning I have to listen to the radio ads of Sean Morrison and Dan Patlak. Who’s telling the truth? If Mr.Patlak is such a crook present the evidence and put him in jail. The man has been in office for a short time and is accused of stealing thousands upon thousands of dollars.. That’s hard to believe. On top of that I received robo calls from Liz Gorman promoting Sean Morrison. When will this nonsense end? We don’t need deceptions and accusations; we need honest solutions to real problems. If this is the way people run campaigns, can you imagine how they’ll run their political office?

If Ms. Gorman is representing herself as the Republican Party Chairperson in Orland Township she needs to be fair to all Republican candidates running for office in Orland Park. I would encourage her to show better judgment and leadersip to work for clean and honest elections.. I don’t see her representation and actions worthy of a person that might want to be Mayor of Orland Park.

TWO CONTRASTING STORIES

Last week there were two contrasting stories. The first involved the Georgetown coed who went before Congress, and the world, to profess her promiscuity. Her problem was that she was having so much sex that she couldn’t afford the contraceptives. She came to Congress to ask that they mandate that contraceptives be included, free of charge, in all health care packages. The President of the United States personally called her to praise her courage and stated her parents should be proud.



The second story ,which received little coverage, was the Pentagon’s slashing of health care benefits to the military and their families. There was no Congressional Hearing, no objections from the President. There was little or no coverage from the media.



Where’s our priorities, where’s our moral values. If Washington wanted a political issue they sure picked a poor one. My money should go to the Military not for promiscuity.

Is Christianity Dying A Slow Death?

 

Question: “Is Christianity Dying A Slow Death”? If you look around, it’s not very encouraging. The Middle East is a time bomb ready to explode. Christians are being murdered and churches burned. Radical Islam is threatening to annihilate all infidels. Once strong religious countries have forsaken their faith and churches stand empty. At home, church attendance has risen very slightly; 42.8% in 2009 to 43.1% in 2010. That’s a good sign, not great, but encouraging. What’s not encouraging is that religious freedom is being challenged every day. Prayer is banned in schools, at sporting events and graduation, Merry Christmas was to become Happy Holidays. The Ten Commandments is not allowed in public buildings. Crosses must be removed from public property. The placement of the Nativity is prohibited in public arenas. The county’s motto; “In God We Trust “is challenged. We’re not supposed to offend anyone. As a country founded upon Christian Judaic principles; I say we are headed in the wrong direction. Where are the leaders to defend our founding principles? Where are the leaders to defend good vs. evil? What has happened to our rights?

Yes, where are the leaders? They seem to be hiding. They don’t want to upset anyone. They are abandoning the courage to preach right vs. wrong, good vs. evil... What we get is Reverend Jeremiah Wright preaching GD America. The recent controversy over the Obama Mandate, that Catholic Institutions provide health care for sterilization, abortifacients and contraception, is an example of what is happening in America. It’s encouraging that Pope Benedict appointed Cardinal Dolan of New York, who stood up and made no qualms about defending his religious doctrine, and defining what was right and what was wrong. In comparison, it is my opinion that was not the story in the Archdiocese of Chicago. The Archdiocese of Chicago decided to place a letter in their bulletins on a Sunday. The parishes were given the option to read the letter, at mass, or let the parishioners read the letter. In my parish they did not read the letter. The following Sunday a second letter, from the Conference of Catholic Bishops, was inserted in the bulletins. Again my parish did not read the letter. Questioning the priests, the reply was, “we don’t want to upset anyone”. Who do you upset by defending your doctrine and telling the truth? I disagree with the Archdiocese OF Chicago. It was irresponsible to not read these letters. The perception is that the Archdiocese doesn’t care what we do. I feel the church has a responsibility for instructing what is right and what is wrong. Has the Church become more pre occupied with money and being politically correct than being spokesmen for God?



In my opinion religious teachings have become watered down. Most homilies are presented as politically correct instead of emphasizing what is right and what is wrong in today’s society. How many homilies do you hear that attack: abortion, murder, drug abuse, child abuse, the deterioration of the family, or alcoholism? I must have been dozing, because I don’t remember any. They may mention these issues, but to attack them head on is another story. Maybe, they don’t want to offend anyone.



In 1979 when Pope John Paul conducted an outdoor Polish Mass, at Five Holy Martyrs Parish, on the Southside of Chicago he reiterated a Polish Proverb, it went something like this:”If you rise early, God will provide for you, if you don’t rise early, God will not provide for you.” I interpret it to mean that hard work and initiative pay off. That was the culture John Paul grew up in. That was the culture of the United States. You worked hard and earned what you had. Today things are changing; people look to government to provide for them. Government is not only to provide the basics: food, clothing and shelter, but also cell phones, homes people can’t support, free health care, credit cards. Government will promise almost anything to get your vote. The wage earner can only afford so much for what we call the Nanny State, after awhile the money runs out. You only have to look to Greece to see what happens when the Nanny State goes broke. The people take to the streets to demand something the government can no longer afford. No one is against helping the poor, but when half of a country is on or looking for some form of welfare something is wrong. The people need jobs, not welfare. We should help people, not make them invalids. An idle mind lurks the devil.



It is my conviction that religion in America is on the downturn. Once it has begun to slide it becomes difficult to reverse. Our government is no help. In fact they may be leading the downturn. The Constitution guarantees religious freedoms; the problem is that many of today’s politicians don’t believe in the Constitution. They take an oath they don’t honor. Another problem is that the current Administration appears to be in favor of secularizing religion. When government starts telling religious institutions what they have to do, they have stepped over the line. Is government to become our religion of the future? You saw it happen in the Soviet Union and other Communist block countries. The religious were persecuted and killed. Government controlled everything and people became poorer. Those who benefitted where the proletariat who became the rich. It was about power and control. Many say, don’t worry. I say we better worry. The lessons of the past are being ignored. Today the Catholic Church supports the liberal welfare and health care policies of big government. They supported Obama Care. These are the same policies that I believe are leading to socialism. I ask, is big government the solution or the problem? The Church needs to reexamine its outlook on the motives and role of big government. The objectives and words may be good, but the outcomes may not be what you want. I believe big government is camouflaging the contents and intent of its policies. The best example is Obama Care. The best government is the government that governs least.



The time has come for religious institutions to re-evaluate their role and interactions with government. I believe this is more important than revising the words in the mass. Most people look to the clergy for the guidance to follow the dictates of God. As sinners we need God’s help to follow his infinite wisdom to provide the help needed to lead good lives. We pray that the clergy will find the strength and courage to defend their religion. We need the “TRUTH”. Without religion there will be no right or wrong. Everything will be right. There will be no sin, there will be no god. There will be no order. Government will be supreme and will rule. The lessons from history are clear. Are we going to pay attention and stand up for what’s right., or will we say “we don’t want to upset anyone.” Is that leadership? How long do we have to be kicked around? The clock is ticking and we are heading in the wrong direction.

REPEAL OBAMACARE

On March 23, 2010 President Barack Obama signed into law “The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act”, better known as Obama Care. It was a 2700-3000 page document that very few if any had read. Nancy Pelosi told us “not to worry we’ll find out what’s in it later”. Well it’s later and we’re finding out what’s in it, and the majority of Americans don’t like it. They’re calling for repeal.

Recently an announcement, regarding an Obama Care mandate caused a confrontation. It was initiated by a statement that President Obama made that would force all health care plans in the U, S. to cover sterilization and all FDA approved contraceptives including those that cause abortion. This was objectionable to the Catholic Church because it does not protect the freedom of conscience rights of secular for profit employers, secular non-profit employers, religious insurers, self insured religious employers or individual Americans. The President met the objections with an accommodation that Insurance Companies provide the services free of charge. This was rejected by the Catholic Bishops as a no change. It simply meant that Insurance Companies would raise premiums to cover the cost and the insured would pay indirectly for the same objectionable services.

Washington uses the term mandate; I call it order or dictate. Government is telling you what you have to pay for. This mandate is a violation of my religious rights and liberties covered under the Constitution of the United States. Government is intruding on my religious believes and telling me that my religion is answerable to Big Government. I have no objection to people doing what they want. That’s on their conscience, but please don’t dictate to me that I have to support their behavior. Many liberals say this is an issue of women’s health, I say it is an issue of behavior. It’s an issue on how you want to conduct your life. It’s an issue being decided by beaucrates in Washington. If they’re so interested in determining insurance coverage, why don’t they work with insurance and medical professionals to best solve medical issues? Your auto insurance provides options to pick and choose so you can select the best and most affordable coverage. Why should I pay for someone’s behavior that is contrary to my religious beliefs? If you want that coverage, you pay for it.

Obama Care not only attacks the 1st Amendment’s religious liberties, but has moved its tentacles to cut the benefits of seniors. Obama Care is calling for a $575 billion cut to Medicare over the next decade and using $410 billion of that money to expand eligibility for Medicaid. That’s what I call robbing Peter to pay Paul or redistribution of wealth. People who thought their payroll deductions were being used for retirement are finding otherwise. It was replaced by useless IOU’s. Senior are paying over $100 a month for Medicare, what are Medicaid patients paying, zero? According to Administration actuaries Medicare will spend $14,731 per senior in 2019, instead of $16,162 if the law had not passed. To top it off the Administration will put in place an unelected board called the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB) to manage and implement cost cutting measures for Medicare. This is what they meant when the issue of Death Panels was brought up. It’s a way to follow the ideologies of E. Emanuel, Rahm’s brother, as to the value of life. At age zero you have no value and after 40 or 50 the value of your life continues to decrease. That’s how you cut money and show you have no value for life. If you’re very young or very old your government will have no use for you. People over 70 are to be known as units. Units will not be legible for chemo therapy, joint replacement, and heart bypasses to name a few medical procedures. The medical cases will be reviewed by the IPAB. If that’s the law it’s an abomination and must be repealed. It’s age discrimination.

Obama Care not only attacks religious liberty and seniors but also small business. In 1979 there were 279 mandates; in 2012 we have as many as 2100 mandates. The administration has created regulations for regulations. They are strangling small businesses and the medical profession. These mandates have created uncertainty which discourages the hiring of new workers, and the retention of existing workers due to rising cost. IRS agents will monitor companies who don’t comply with mandated health care for their employees. Waivers have been given to preferential businesses and unions. Why should anyone get a waiver? If governments can takeover car companies and banks why can’t they control small businesses and individuals? It’s a step closer to socialism. I don’t believe this is what the founding Fathers intended when they framed the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution.

It is predicted that millions of Americans will be forced out of their health coverage. Many companies will no longer be able to afford insurance coverage for their employees. Insurance premiums will rise making it unaffordable for the average American. What’s the solution, government sponsored insurance or socialized medicine. Something they call the Single Payer System. .If this happens it is predicted we will have a shortage of doctors, it will be the collapse of the best health care system in the world and it will create rationing. We will all be forced to buy Obama care. That sounds like government demanding-forcing a product on its citizens. People will no longer come to the United States for treatment; instead Americans will go outside of the country to look for their medical care...

The best description for Obama Care is that it is an abomination.” In spring 2012 the Supreme Court is to rule on Obama Care. It will be the job of the 9 Justices to rule on the Constitutionality of Obama Care. It will not be there job to legislate or to make judgments based on individual preferences. It is not about what they think or would like the law to be. There job is to rule on the law and how it applies to the Constitution. I’m no legal scholar but based on my research and findings I have to say Obama Care is unconstitutional and should be overturned. It is critical that each Justice back up his or her findings with solid conclusions. based on law. Before voting I ask that each Justice re-read their oath of office to uphold the Constitution of the United State of America.

I ask the Justices of the Supreme Court to repeal Obama Care.

HAVE WE PASSED INTO ORWELL'S "1984"?

The door appears to have opened and we are now passing into Orwell’s “1984”. I feel “Big Brother’ is watching my every movement. Soon, I will become a number among many.

Everyday, I hear more and more about the invasion of privacy. Do I have any rights to my privacy? What right does government or other parties have to my information? Is there anything I can do to stop this invasion? Is my use of the internet safe? If not, why not? What business does anyone have to the information on my computer? The 4th Amendment guarantees:’ the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effect against unreasonable searches and seizures.” Is anyone paying attention to the Constitution? Is it the role of government to protect our 4th Amendment Rights, or violate them?

The government wants to control everything, but it can’t control and protect its own information. There is a story being told that a conversation between the FBI and Scotland Yard was hacked. Then there’s the drone that landed in Iran. The drone was hacked into by the Russians or Chinese and forced to land in Iran. This is big stuff. What is government doing to combat these serious violations and protect us from cyber attacks?

In a recent 60 Minute segment, the show highlighted the fact that drones would be used in New York for surveillance. Street cameras are not enough, now we need drones. Have these tools decreased crimes or accidents? There are plenty of laws on the books to protect the citizenry. In severe cases of terrorism or crimes drones should be considered. I don’t know if I want Big Bother watching my every move.

Government has intruded into our lives by trying to control gun ownership, health care, what we eat, what we drink, what cars we drive, they want to control the air waves and internet, and who gets what. Where will it stop? What happened to common sense? What happened to the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness? Maybe government should get out of our lives and concentrate on jobs, the economy, national security and defense. Does government know what its mission is? Are we the enemy? I don’t believe Government has to become Big Brother and control us as Orwell described in his book “1984”.

Technology has made our lives more comfortable; while on the other hand it has also made it more complex. Who will steal my identity, pilfer my bank account, use my credit card, and use my personal information. Today I can go on the internet and for $39.95 buy your personal information. If I wanted a social security number; I can check death records. Who controls the wholesale use of personal information? Who gave anyone the right to sell my personal information or for that matter anyone’s information.

Fifty years ago this wasn’t a problem. Today we need to protect our information. We can no longer throw personal papers in the garbage; we have to burn or shred them. We need passwords and pin numbers for use on our computers and various accounts. Even with all types of security someone will find a way to get to your information. It can be government, corporations or individuals who invade our world. They use the information for the mailings that flood our mailboxes, the phone calls we get at suppertime, for personal gain, and the bugs they plant in our computers to monitor our usage. Anyone who violates my space and privacy should be prosecuted. I understand there are instances where government and businesses need information for security reasons. There is nothing wrong with collecting data for research as long as it is not personal. There should be limited reasons to know my social security number, phone number, religion, age, medical history, political affiliations, and financial information. That’s private information that should not be used against my wishes. Most companies have privacy procedures they follow to protect us. Maybe the people in government, corporations and individuals should pay attention to the 4th Amendment and privacy laws. We need to close the door on the intrusions into our lives before it’s too late.

G8/NATO Summit Is Coming To Chicago

In May the City of Chicago will be hosting the G8/NATO Summit. This will be the first time in 30 years that any city has hosted both meetings. This will be the 38th G8 Summit and will be held at McCormick Place on May 20-21. The G8 was created in 1975 as the G7 consisting of: France, Germany, Italy, Japan, United Kingdom, United States and Canada. The first meeting was held in 1977. Russia was later added to make it the G8. Today other emerging nations are invited: Brazil, China, New Mexico and others. They discuss global issues: security, economy, environment, and trade, NATO was created in 1949 after WW II. It includes the U.S. and 27 other countries. The summits are expected to attract over 2000 dignitaries from around the globe. On top of the summit the National Restaurant Association is scheduled to hold its annual trade show in Chicago, May 19-22, at McCormick Place... The NRA draws over 50,000 visitors and brought in an estimated $110 Million in 2004.The NRA has been coming to Chicago since 1950.

Chicago was selected as the site by President Obama after extensive lobbying by Chicago’s Mayor Rahm Emmanuel. Chicago offers 2 airports, great hotels, fine restaurants, transportation, entertainment and other amenities. The Summit will be hosted by President Obama. The Summit provides great economic opportunities for Chicago businesses. It is estimated that 10,000 hotel rooms will be booked for the event. Over 2000 journalist will come to cover the summit. The downside is that the summit also attracts protestors from around the world. Adbuster a radical Vancouver based anti consumerist magazine has called for 50,000 protestors to come to Chicago. The Occupy Wall Street Movement has already applied for protest permits. .Historically the summits have created violence in the form of broken windows, turned over cars, in London they wanted to bomb the subways. The riots of 1968 may look like child’s play compared to the planned summit. To counter any threats, the Chicago Police and Fire Departments have been preparing for months. They will be aided by Secret Service and foreign agents traveling with the foreign leaders. This will be an extremely difficult security challenge.

Normally these summits are held in remote locations. The City of Chicago may be disrupted for more than a week... Roads will be closed to provide security for the dignitaries... The Daley Center and McCormick Place can expect large numbers of protestors. It’s hard to predict what will happen at City Hall, the Federal Buildings and Thompson Center. Local businesses were asked to hire more security to protect their properties. The potential for violence is extremely high. The use of modern technology such as cell phones, ipads, and laptops increase communications for the protestors to converge more easily upon areas.

The media coverage will be enormous. If there is trouble the responsible groups and sponsors should be exposed and dealt with quickly. We know the City will protect the 1st Amendment Rights of everyone, citizens as well as protestors... The question is: how well can they maintain law and order? Because of the potential for trouble many people are planning to leave the city. If you work in downtown Chicago, what plans are you making? What do you think of the President and Mayor’s decision to host the summits? The final outcome, good or bad, will rest upon the shoulders of the President and Chicago’s Mayor. It was their decision. We can expect the worse, but let’s hope and pray for the best.
