Looking at the state of affairs now days I am reminded of a book I read, from Lee Iacocca former Leader of GM, hell he was GM. But he ran General Motors Corporation and when he was in charge they had there share of crisis but he was able to work through them and keep the company a float, our so called leader could take a lesson from a man like this, don’t get me wrong, I am sure he is not perfect, maybe he stole some candy from the store when he was little I really don’t know, but he showed a level of competence that only a few of our leaders have shown in the past few years. Most of them are in it for them, very few and the number keeps getting smaller each year could care less what you think most of them really think they can do what ever they want and just lie about it, hell look at the current President as he really even deserves that title.

The fact of the matter, “The Hard Truth” if you will is that the biggest part of the problem is you, and by you i mean the masses that sit idle by while these corporate elite’s take more of our liberties and push what ever they want down our throats and you just keep swallowing it and asking for more, do you really think these people are any smarter than you or I, what you do not realize is that most of the people you look up to are just as F’ed up as you, they are just better at lying about it.

Our Country and all that it stands for, is being killed by so called “political correctness” God forbid we should offend anyone, wait I guess I should not have brought God in to it, Jay Leno had a good point we have storms tearing apart our country from every coast, our debt is the largest it has ever been, we are hated around the world, “do you really think now is the time we should be talking about taking God out of everything”. For those of you who have read my stuff before you know I am not a bible thumper by any stretch of the imagine, and i really could care less what you believe in, but believe this, we are all in this together! there is no way out for any of us till we stand up and to take the great sound bite from Lee Iacocca “throw the bums out!” These people work for us, and with that said we are the stupidest employer in the world!

If you are not Outraged!! then either you are not paying attention or you are just plain ignorant! Below is some stuff paraphrased from Lee Iacocca’s Book “Where have all the leaders gone?”

Lee Iacocca says in his book:

‘Am I the only guy in this country who’s fed up with what’s happening? Where the hell is our outrage? We should be screaming bloody murder! We’ve got a gang of clueless bozos steering our ship of state right over a cliff, we’ve got corporate gangsters stealing us blind, and we can’t even clean up after a hurricane much less build a hybrid car. But instead of getting mad, everyone sits around and nods their heads when the politicians say, ‘Stay the course’.

Stay the course? You’ve got to be kidding. This is America, not the damned, ‘Titanic’. I’ll give you a sound bite: ‘Throw all the bums out!’

You might think I’m getting senile, that I’ve gone off my rocker, and maybe I have. But someone has to speak up. I hardly recognize this country anymore.

The most famous business leaders are not the innovators but the guys in handcuffs. While we’re fiddling in Iraq, the Middle East is burning and nobody seems to know what to do. And the press is waving ‘pom-poms’ instead of asking hard questions. That’s not the promise of the ‘America’ my parents and yours traveled across the ocean for. I’ve had enough. How about you?

I’ll go a step further.. You can’t call yourself a patriot if you’re not outraged. This is a fight I’m ready and willing to have. The Biggest ‘C’ is Crisis ! (Iacocca elaborates on nine C’s of leadership, with crisis being the first.)

Leaders are made, not born. Leadership is forged in times of crisis. It’s easy to sit there with your feet up on the desk and talk theory. Or send someone elses kids off to war when you’ve never seen a battlefield yourself. It’s another thing to lead when your world comes tumbling down.

On September 11, 2001, we needed a strong leader more than any other time in our history. We needed a steady hand to guide us out of the ashes. A hell of a mess, so here’s where we stand.

We’re immersed in a bloody war with no plan for winning and no plan for leaving.

We’re running the biggest deficit in the history of the country.

We’re losing the manufacturing edge to Asia , while our once-great companies are getting slaughtered by health care costs.

Gas prices are skyrocketing, and nobody in power has a coherent energy policy. Our schools are in trouble.

Our borders are like sieves.

The middle class is being squeezed every which way.

These are times that cry out for leadership.

But when you look around, you’ve got to ask: ‘Where have all the leaders gone?’ Where are the curious, creative communicators? Where are the people of character, courage, conviction, omnipotence, and common sense? I may be a sucker for alliteration, but I think you get the point.

Name me a leader who has a better idea for homeland security than making us take off our shoes in airports and throw away our shampoo?

We’ve spent billions of dollars building a huge new bureaucracy, and all we know how to do is react to things that have already happened.

Name me one leader who emerged from the crisis of Hurricane Katrina. Congress has yet to spend a single day evaluating the response to the hurricane or demanding accountability for the decisions that were made in the crucial hours after the storm.

Everyone’s hunkering down, fingers crossed, hoping it doesn’t happen again. Now, that’s just crazy. Storms happen. Deal with it. Make a plan. Figure out what you’re going to do the next time.

Name me an industry leader who is thinking creatively about how we can restore our competitive edge in manufacturing. Who would have believed that there could ever be a time when ‘The Big Three’ referred to Japanese car companies? How did this happen, and more important, what are we going to do about it?

Name me a government leader who can articulate a plan for paying down the debit, or solving the energy crisis, or managing the health care problem without a TELEPROMPTER. The silence is deafening. But these are the crises that are eating away at our country and milking the middle class dry.

I have news for the gang in Congress. We didn’t elect you to sit on your asses and do nothing and remain silent while our democracy is being hijacked and our greatness is being replaced with mediocrity. What is everybody so afraid of? That some bonehead on CNN will call them a name? Give me a break. Why don’t you guys show some spine for a change?

Had Enough? Hey, I’m not trying to be the voice of gloom and doom here. I’m trying to light a fire. I’m speaking out because I have hope – I believe in America . In my lifetime, I’ve had the privilege of living through some of America ’s greatest moments. I’ve also experienced some of our worst crises: The ‘Great Depression,’ ‘World War II,’ the ‘Korean War,’ the ‘Kennedy Assassination,’ the ‘Vietnam War,’ the 1970’s oil crisis, and the struggles of recent years culminating with 9/11.

If I’ve learned one thing, it’s this: ‘You don’t get anywhere by standing on the sidelines waiting for somebody else to take action. Whether it’s building a better car or building a better future for our children, we all have a role to play. That’s the challenge I’m raising in this book. It’s a “Call to Action” for people who, like me, believe in America ‘. It’s not too late, but it’s getting pretty close. So let’s shake off the crap and go to work. Let’s tell’ em all we’ve had ‘enough.’

Make your own contribution by sending this to everyone you know and care about… It’s our country, folks, and it’s our future. Our future is at stake!!

Now Mr. President here is your problem, they tape these things you are saying, they can re-paly them later when you say something else to contradict the statements you make, now this leads me to believe you think that we are stupid, or you are to stupid to know that this is possible.

So which it is are you just so stupid that you do not know how a camera works, or is it you think we are all to stupid to record the shit you say and figure out that you are lying? Then you want us to believe that your health care bill will do anything you have promised.

This brings to mind an old saying if the dog bite me once shame on the dog, if the dog bites me twice shame on me.

For the liberals….. let me explain. What that story “should” teach us, is that if you lean down to pet a dog and he bites you, shame on that dog, you were only trying to show some affection he should not have bitten you. But if your dumb ass leans in to pet him and he bites you again, then shame on you for being so stupid to stick your hand in there to get bitten again.

Now how does that apply to our sorry excuse of a president lying, well glad you asked, if someone lies to you and tells you that they will do something, and they don’t do it, in fact the do the opposite, the next time they tell you they are going to do something, you should not be the dumb-ass and believe them.

Well are you sorry yet? Don’t Blame me I voted for an American, guess what dumb ass Ron Paul the cooc, the nut job, he was right now how stupid do you feel. There are bleeding heart candy ass liberals that are sorry that they vote for Obama, yea they are on board with OBAMA standing for One Big Ass Mistake America.

You know the last time I heard of anyone putting together a civilian security force was hitler now how did that shit work for you.

IF YOU AGREE, PASS THIS ‘REFRESHER’ ON TO TEN FREE CITIZENS

I can tell you one thing he told the truth on, he said that senators and congressman from both sides of the fence worked tirelessly on this and that has never happened before. Now I can believe that the senate and congress have never worked hard before can’t you.
