Dear Editor,
How many times have retired Democrats talking to me made fun of the Tea-party and Republicans? Some of these people are drawing a $3,000 monthly pension. Don’t they realize if we don’t rein in spending and bring down the deficit they could lose that fat check? And use people with our little Social Security check could lose too. They don’t realize we are all in the same boat.
To show how foolish they are they even think F.D. Roosevelt was the President that started Social Security. It’s just not true. It was Herbert Hoover that drew up the bill that started Social Security and he was a Republican. The Democrats jumped on the bandwagon and tried to take credit. Also Roosevelt was a Progressive, which is first cousin to Communism. They are the ones on the wrong side (Democrats). So they should not look down their nose at me.
I was raised up on a cotton mill village and have not gotten above my raising. I appreciate textiles today for the food I had to eat. And I also have to say I appreciate my parents for the hard work and the great love they showed for me. None of us in East Rockingham will ever forget. We thought we were rich but I guess it was all that love.

We know he is a cyinical liar - the rcent records that Fox was forced to sue in order to obtain from the White House proves that.
When Obama ran for the presidency his goal was to "change" this nation from Capitalism into Socialism. He's finding it more difficult than he thought.
BTW Obama's predecessor accomplished his mission. He captured the individual that he intended to capture. And this predecessor had to rebuild a military that the Clinton administration had cut in half.
Social Security is the worst retirment system in the world. FDR should have done as the railroad and set up a retirment system separate from government control. Instead he set it up so government could control the people.
The teaparty is gaining strength -It is only those who lean toward Socialism, Facistm and anti-Capitalism Their fear has caused them to go ballistic. They are trying desperately to stop those who want America to return to the principles and values that America was founded on. 'God and Country' is still our priority. As long as we keep it that way, we will be victorious.
Obama's plan to 'change' our values system has, so far, backfired.

Education is the antidote for simpleton-ism, not Fox News, The National Enquirer, The Baptist Church or your gossiping neighbor.
In the middle of the Great Depression while people were standing in soup lines and having to sell apples on the streets President Hoover was living the high life. In the summer of 1932 a Movietone News crew filmed the president feeding a t-bone steak to his dog in the Rose Garden. This is the great president you are so proud of!
