VICE PRESIDENT OUT OF LINE
The Vice President was off base in complimenting the refusal of veterans to see their WWII memorial. No mention by him of Camp David and the President's Golf course remaining opened and quite welcoming. Has it occurred to these elitists of wealth and liberal privilege that there are millions in this country wanting our veterans honored and treated with compassion and thankfulness for their service. Many of these brave veterans are either dead, wounded, or not wanted by these elitists. The Vice President should be required to apologize with deepest regret. What a sad day for this nation when a Vice President is this far out of line. Sad.

WE SUPPORT ISRAEL
Alan Phillips · University of Arkansas
TO THE PRIME MINISTER OF ISRAEL, The Jerusalem Post, 9/30
You are totally correct in alerting the world to Iran's charm offensive and their meaningless words. Americans of all parties support the nation of Israel 100 percent. Iran's leadership has not diverted from their goal of producing nuclear weapons to ultimately threaten and destroy the Jewish nation. Please realize that we Americans are not fooled in the least by these sick Iranian lies and fabrications even if others in the administration are. We are solid in our support of Israel.

REPUBLICANS FIX BAYONETS!
REPUBLICANS, FIX BAYONETS! A NEW LOOK AT CONTINUING RESOLUTIONS, C.R.’S
Pat Buchanan has suggested the following use of continuing resolutions in funding the federal government. His idea in today’s WND is tremendously relevant to those who want to defund Obamacare,
"If Obama vetoes any continuing resolution funding the government that does not contain Obamacare, who is shutting down the government then?
Who is putting the U.S. economy at risk to protect a bollixed program the American people do not want and Congress would never approve if they voted on it today?
What House Republicans have lacked is not courage, but a political and communications strategy.
Having provided a continuing resolution to fund the government, except Obamacare, the House should next begin passing CRs – one for each department. A CR to fund defense and veterans affairs. A CR to fund state, the CIA and Homeland Security. A CR for justice, transportation, energy, etc. One every day.
Would Harry Reid refuse to fund the U.S. Army and Navy unless John Boehner’s House stuffs Obamacare into the defense budget?”…

Dr, Phillips Strongly Agrees With Gallup Poll
Americans' Belief That Gov't Is Too Powerful at Record Level
Record number of Republicans say the federal government has too much power
by Joy Wilke
PRINCETON, NJ -- Six in 10 Americans (60%) believe the federal government has too much power, one percentage point above the previous high recorded in September 2010. At least half of Americans since 2005 have said the government has too much power. Thirty-two percent now say the government has the right amount of power. Few say it has too little power.
Trend: Americans' Perceptions of Governmental Power
These most recent data come from Gallup's Governance survey, conducted Sept. 5-8. The 7% who feel the government has too little power has been mostly steady since Gallup started tracking the measure regularly in 2002.
Republicans and Democrats Divided on Views of Government
This new high encompasses Republicans (81%), who are now more likely than at any time since 2002 to say the government has too much power, and Democrats (38%), who now are more likely to say this than at any time since President Barack Obama took office in 2009.
Republicans, Democrats, and independents have each grown more likely to say government is too powerful this year. However, Republicans' and Democrats' views have generally become more polarized since Obama took office. In 2002, the two parties were about equally likely to view the federal government as too powerful, at 36% and 35%, respectively, with independents, at 45%, most likely to say this.
As the George W. Bush era continued, both Republicans and Democrats began to report higher levels of unease with the amount of power the federal government held. Between 2004 and 2007, the gap between the parties ranged from seven to 17 percentage points, with Democrats more likely than Republicans to say the government had too much power.
During the 2008 presidential race, about half of Republicans and Democrats held this view. By September 2009, however, views became much more polarized: 25% of Democrats were concerned with the government's power, compared with 78% of Republicans. Since that low point, Democrats have become more likely to view the government as too powerful, with 38% this year saying so -- for a gap of 43 points between the parties.

Implications
Americans -- specifically Republicans and Democrats -- have become more divided in their perceptions of federal power since the end of the Bush administration. Within a year of Obama's inauguration, Republicans' and Democrats' views on the issue diverged dramatically, leaving a gulf between the parties that remains today -- though the current 43-point partisan gap is smaller than the 53-point gap measured in the fall of 2009.
A gulf between Democrats and Republicans on this measure is not unexpected, given the differences in Democrats' and Republicans' views on the role of government, as well as the level of comfort partisans feel while their party is in office. Though Republicans tend to be more skeptical of government overall, this concern was tempered while President Bush was in office. However, Republicans' concern reached new highs when Obama took office in 2009.
On the other hand, though Democrats tend to be more comfortable with a more active government, more than half became concerned with the U.S. government's power toward the end of the Bush years. The presence of a Democratic president in office likely leads Republicans to feel especially skeptical of -- and Democrats especially comfortable with -- the amount of power the federal government holds, leading to the large gap between the parties seen during Obama's presidency

AMERICAN DREAM IS ALIVE AND WELL IN LOCKRIDGE IOWA 9/14/2013

A nice analogy to Abraham Lincoln's article in the Iowa Republican can be found in the local Lion's Club's sponsorship of Fun Day 2013 in Lockridge, Iowa. Some have sadly concluded that the American Dream of hard work, honesty, integrity, responsibility and vision with it's reward is dead. My wife and I found it dynamically alive in South Central Iowa's small town of Lockridge.
This small town has one of the largest hearts of friendship in Fairfield county. We had on Saturday traveled from a neighboring state to meet dear friends in this quaint but vibrant town. Our friends suggested we meet them for lunch at Fun Day in downtown Lockridge. We noticed on arrival that all volunteers were providing a delightful day for children wanting to raise money for their local fire department and other special needs. When we arrived in down town we noticed the local park was filled with happy children, their parents and grand parents having great fun together as families and friends. We were welcomed by a senior member of the Lion's Club and had a Fun Day button attached to our coats. Next we were welcomed by ladies that had baked fresh pies, cakes and brownies for everyone. We witnessed also corn dogs, barbequed pork, snow cones and volunteers working and welcoming one and all everywhere, we were not treated as strangers, but family. Food, table service, and conversation were plentiful and all visitors were quickly welcomed into community, no exclusions.
Young farmers, professionals, workers and retirees spent their day having fun and making us part of their conversation circles. No matter that the pies, cakes, food were made by senior guys and gals that probably fought aches and pains to make Fun Day special they were serving others.
We are totally convinced after our trip to Lockridge that the American Dream and all it's energy is very much alive in it's people. Our day was made special by all our new friends in Lockridge. We are ready to return to the living American Dream next year.
Dr. and Mrs. Alan Phillips
